Atlas of the Ancient Maya World
I have now used PDF Index generator for three scholarly reference volumes. In all three cases, the software functioned superbly. East book had different indexing challenges, but the versatility of PDFIG always rose to the occasion. In all cases, the text involved the use of English, Spanish, and Maya vocabulary. Most recently, I was indexing numerous names, in English and Spanish. PDFIG provides the capability to quickly note a name in the text such as Walter Robert Thurmond Witschey, and, if English, index it as Witschey, Walter Robert Thurmond, or if Spanish, index it as Thurmond Witschey, Walter Robert. The multilevel topic index handling was a lifesaver. Indexing is terribly labor intensive, and dependent on author knowledge of complex topics. I could not have done the work without this superb software, and the personal support on occasion of it author Hesham Gneady.
