Click OK.
To enable or disable the CD-ROM optimize option:
1
Select or deselect the Optimize for CD-ROM option. Click OK.
Optimize for CD-ROM arranges the files for quick retrieval from a CD. This option also
makes it easier for you to modify Document Info fields or security settings after you have
indexed a document. Normally when a user searches a document that has been modified
after it was indexed, a message indicates that the document was changed, and the user
must choose whether to use the index. When you select the Optimize for CD-ROM option,
the message and choice are bypassed.
Adding document identifiers to 1.0 PDF files for cross-platform
compatibility
You may need to add unique document identifiers to PDF documents created with version
1.x of Acrobat Distiller or PDFWriter when you need them in cross-platform environments.
Version 2 and later of these programs add the identifiers automatically.
Document identifiers are needed when Mac OS filenames are shortened when translated
to DOS filenames. Filenaming ambiguities often result from this cross-platform renaming
process. Acrobat Search uses the unique identifiers to resolve such ambiguities. Add these
document identifiers in the Options dialog box.
To add document identifiers:
1
Select the Add IDs to Acrobat 1.0 PDF files option. Click OK.
Setting Acrobat Catalog and Search preferences
There are a number of preferences available to skilled users of Adobe Acrobat Catalog.The
default settings are designed to work for most users, and it is recommended that you do
not customize these preferences unless you are familiar with the underlying programming
concepts.
Setting Acrobat Catalog preferences
The preferences you set here will determine what options are available to your readers
when they use the Acrobat Search feature. The Catalog and Search preferences are very
closely related, so be sure to consider both when building your indexes.
Note:
You can restore the default preference values by clicking the Restore All Defaults
button.
To set Acrobat Catalog general preferences:
1
Click the Preferences button in the Adobe Acrobat Catalog dialog box.

Delay Before Purge (seconds): 30–905 (Default=905). Specifies the delay from the time
the purge command is invoked. It is strongly recommended that you leave this at the
default.
