Indexes point towards valuable information and they can spare you from searching for something page by page. They are particularly useful for digital documents, because they enable you to jump to the information you need, with a single click. Creating an index can prove to be difficult, especially if you are working with PDF documents, but you can use Index Generator to make your work easier. It allows you to include words in your index instantly, reference them and much more.

Index Generator is part of a large collection of freeware applications, which are supported by donations. It does not take long to download the setup file and to install the application. The system requirements are modest, but you need to make sure that Java is installed on your computer.

If you load a PDF document, Index Generator will extract its words and it will list them, along with their occurrence numbers, on the left side of the user interface. Your document's text is displayed on the same window and you can select a listed word to highlight it in the main text. Besides extracting and counting individual words, the program will associate them with page numbers.

You may click different icons, next to each word, to include items in your index or to send them to a recycle bin. Additionally, you may group words, with simple click and drag actions. This can be useful if you encounter similar words, but in different forms. While a word is selected, you can use various options to include or exclude the pages on which they appear, to associate them with a phrase or edit their index entry. You can also bring up different windows, to assign other items to the selected word, as references or headings.

A selected word's entry title, associated search words, headings, subheadings and pages are displayed above the main text. These details are updated automatically, when you group words, associate them with other words and so on. You can change the format of your index on a separate window. When you are satisfied with your work, you may export the index as a PDF or MS Word document, as a rich text or plain text file.

Pros

The software extracts words from a PDF document and it automatically associates them with page numbers. It is possible to assign references or headings to individual words, include or exclude words and pages and more. You can change the font and paragraph settings for your index and export it in various formats.

Cons

The possibility of searching for specific words would be a welcomed addition. With Index Generator, you may create professional indexes and make them as simple or complex as you want, without any kind of difficulties.
