PDF Portfolio Search

Hey, can someone help me. I am trying to figure out why searching doesn't work for any other user except me.

I have created a PDF Portfolio of pictures for people to view from a network drive. There are 150+ pictures in the Portfolio. I have used the search a number of times to search up a word in some of the titles of the pictures and the search engine automatically comes up with the files found . . . but when another person logged on to a different computer tries to search for the same work in the portfolio nothing comes up. It states that 0 documents with that name were found . . I have tried to figure out why this is happening but I don't know.

Does somebody know why? Is it a security setting perhaps.

XP Pro is used on both computers.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.3.1, Windows

**Metadata or keywords previously attached to the pdfs do not come thru in PDF Porfolio.**
I have over 3500 pdfs that I would like to organize for a digital management library for our clients. I have entered the metadata and keywords thru Adobe Bridge. This filtering works very well. But our client doesn't have adobe products. The PDF portfolio seemed like a great way to share our content. But, none of the metadata or keywords are brought along with the images. The description fields are empty in Portfolio. It would be ridiculous to add this data twice. Maybe there is a script that could be written in the mean time to solve this problem. Does anyone have a suggestion of a better way the adobe products could be utilized to achieve the same working idea? I know other subscription websites also do pdf archives that are searchable, it is not a new idea. So, maybe it is just a web page developement, done by our webmaster thru Dreamweaver?
