Create PDF indexes
When you are trying to search text in a long PDF document or multiple PDF files, it is
much faster to search a PDF index, instead of searching the document(s). With Foxit
PDF Editor, you can create an embedded index for a single PDF, or create a full-text
index for multiple PDFs.
Create an embedded index in a PDF
For a PDF document that includes an embedded index, you can search the document
as you always do through the Advanced Search feature, but it will be much faster
than you search a regular PDF without an embedded index. (Note: Before searching a
document with an embedded index, you need to select the Enable embed index option in
File > Preferences > Index.)

1. Open the PDF with Foxit PDF Editor.
2. Choose File > Index > Manage Embedded Index > Manage Embedded Index.

2. Choose File > Index > Manage Embedded Index > Manage Embedded Index.
3. In the pop-up dialog box, click Update Index… or Remove Index….
