OT: Adobe Catalog's Index Feature

["Dana Worley" <dana -at- campbellsci -dot- com>]

cross-posted HATT & TECHWR (sorry, folks, for the dups)

Hello,

I am sad and dismayed...

I am working on a Demoshield front-end for a Resource CD. The 
Resource CD will have installations for our free software, brochures, 
ap notes, and case studies. The brochures, ap note, and case 
studies are in PDF format.

I want to be able to (easily) create one document from which the 
user can access all the PDF files. I also want this document to be 
easily updated with links to new PDF files. From information I read 
about Adobe Catalog, I thought I would be able to let Catalog 
generate a nice little index of the ~350 documents, then I could 
create a PDF to associate this index with, and.... wallah! I would 
then have the one document from which I could access all the 
others. I was expecting something like a table of contents listing all 
the documents.

Well, that's not what I got... In Acrobat I can open that document, 
go into a Search Mode and search for keywords. This, however, is 
not what I'm looking for. 

So... does anyone know of a tool that will do this? (other than Dana-
type-it-in-manually) I've read the Adobe Catalog documentation, 
looked through Adobe's web site and searched the TECHWR 
archives, but I'm not finding answers.   

Thanks,

Dana W.
