I'm not using Acrobat to create the PDFs. The dictionary is LaTeX, so the
PDF is produced by pdflatex.

What does "full-text indexing" get you? It seems like indexen are simply
lists of words and their pages, and a dictionary is also a list of words,
but in alphabetical order so you don't need to know the page number to
find it.
