Bonjour,

Look at the Acrobat Help file for 'Scheduled index updates' or 'BPDX'.

Quote:
You can schedule when and how often to automatically build, rebuild, update, and purge an index by using the Catalog feature and a catalog batch PDX file (.bpdx). A BPDX file is a text file that contains a list of platform-dependent catalog index file paths and flags. You use a scheduling application, such as Windows Scheduler or Scheduler for Mac OS, to display the BPDX file in Acrobat. Acrobat then re-creates the index according to the flags in the BPDX file.Note: To use BPDX files, in the Preferences dialog box under Catalog, select Allow Catalog Batch Files (.bpdx) To Be Run.
An Adobe TechNote that is useful:

Hi All,

I'm having trouble creating the .BPDX file required to schedule index updates. There is very little information on the subject & i have been going round in circles for the last couple of days.I have created several files that appear to initiate the task (ie. will launch Acrobat), but they don't do anything once open. I have tried several different file path formats, etc, with no luck & i cant find any examples of what the BPDX file should actually contain?I'm using a Mac running Acrobat Pro 9.4.3. Any help would be much appreciated...

Thanks, Jason.
