• Click Ok to apply the settings.
• Start indexing your book normally, and in Step2 choose the second option 'Index specific words in the book'.

• Select the category that you have created, and click the Add arrow, then click Ok.
• Continue your indexing process normally, and you will see the phrases that you have specified appear in the index results.

By default PDF Index Generator skips indexing any apostrophes in the book as they are mostly not important as in the words (he's, haven't, i'm, ...), but if you want to force indexing a word having apostrophe, PDF Index Generator allows you to do this by following those steps :

• Choose Tools/Settings/Include/Exclude Words/Include words.
• Click Add to add a new category of words.
• Write the words containing the apostrophes to force indexing them, separating them with a suitable separator like comma then click Save.
• Click Ok to apply the settings.
• Start indexing your book normally, and in Step2 choose the second option Index specific words in the book.
• The Include/Exclude words window is opened, enable the first option Include words.
• Select the category that you have created, and click the Add arrow, then click Ok.
• Continue your indexing process normally, and you will see the word Sainsbury's appear in the index results.

Please follow those steps :

• First you will have to create an XML or TXT file that contains your list of words that you want to import inside the program. Such file has some specifications you must follow so the program can read it. Please check the program Help to check those specifications. They are explained there in details.
• Open the program.
• Choose Tools/Settings/Include/Exclude Words/Include words.
• Click 'Import Categories' and select your *.TXT or *.XML file that you have created.
• Click 'Save' then 'Ok' to apply your settings.
• Start indexing your book normally, and in Step2 choose the second option 'Index specific words in the book'.
• The Include/Exclude words window is opened, enable the first option 'Include words'.
• Select the category that you have created, and click the Add arrow, then click Ok.
• Continue your indexing process normally, and you will see the words of the imported list appear in the index results.

Note : If you think importing a file is difficult, we encourage you to manually write any words/phrases you want to index in the same window that you have opened to import a file by creating a new category manually and choose a suitable Words separator to separate between each entry.

No, every PDF page can be considered as 1 book page. We can not detect how many pages are inside a PDF page.

Unfortunately, this is not supported yet. We are deeply thinking of creating another program to accomplish this, so this may be available soon. Currently you can use some of the available free programs to convert your *.doc file to a PDF book, then use our program to create an Index for it.

Unfortunately we do not support PayPal yet, but there is an alternative service to it, it is MoneyBookers. If you can not use our default payment system, please contact us to guide you through using MoneyBookers.
