Hello everyone,

I've searched the Web and the archives, but came up empty. So, I have an
indexing challenge for you:

My company wants to create a single index for all of the publications in
a document set. This includes installation guides, upgrade guides, API
guides, (all FrameMaker-generated PDFs) and Online Help systems (WebHelp
HTML generated from RoboHelp). Potentially, there are 8-10 PDFs
generated by FrameMaker and 8-10 Help systems (HTML generated by
RoboHelp) in each document set. We want to automatically generate a
single stand-alone index to cover all of these docs.

Does anyone know of a tool that can create such an index? Are we
dreaming? Or is there another way to make all of this searchable (that's
the goal -- to help users search for and find info)? Any help or ideas
would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Kate Wilcox
