Hi Teera,
Happy to give you some feedback.
1: You can also use CMOD 9.0, with PDF Indexer, and THEN install patch 9.0.0.3. But 9.5 is perfect.
2, 3, 4 & 5: Well, the normal way to go would probably be to
tell the person who creates the PDF with PPD in it which index fields to include... but your method is not wrong, it will work.
6: DEFINITELY "PDF" and not User defined...
Indexer information; don't forget to set Indexer = "PDF"...
Your parameters are correct.
Load Information; remember to set "Data Compression", you have loads of data to gain by using compression now.
Our tests show that sizes went from 15-40% compression without the PDF Indexer to 70-80 % compression with. We use "OD77".
7: Yes.
Your note; Bud Paton can tell you, but I am about 90% sure that I read somewhere that this can NOT be done with password-protected PDF files.
If your files are password protected, I would suggest you go with another indexing method.
