I'm trying to create a text index for a group of pages I have combined into a pacakage using Acrobat 8 Standard. The result I'm looking for is to have an index page listing the other pages (and their bookmarks) as the first page of the package file. I cannot seem to locate the "catalog" feature, which I believe does this. Do I need to upgrade to Professional in order to be able to do this?
No, you don't need the catalog feature, which is part of Professional, as you thought. Catalog in Acrobat refers to building an indexing system, which is a feature commonly used for large document collections or manuals. It's not what you need.
Create an index page using a text editor or Word. In Acrobat, use the Links feature to add the links between the text titles and their pages. Be sure to set the page views the same for each link so your users won't experience changes in magnifications as they jump from page to page.
