I have been searching the net quite a while now for a sample PDF-file
with its corresponding index PDX-file now. I downloaded Acrobat Reader
with Search 3.0 and like to try out the search capabilities before
purchasing Acrobat 3.0 (with Catalog and everything else). Any hints?

An index is not just a PDX file. It's actually a collection of ay
least nine directories with their corresponding contents. There's no
particular reson why anyone should put one of these on the web, as
it's useless unless the whole structure is reassembled on your hard
disk.

Perhaps a good place to start is Adobe's "Acrobat Reader" CDROM. This
contains many samples, and I'm pretty sure it has one or more indexes.
