Build a substantially finished subject index from final proofs

IndexPDF prepares the final PDF, constructs index material across the book, reconciles the pieces, and edits the subject index as a whole. The long-running process finishes before the index is handed to you for quality assurance.

The editorial pass consolidates fragmented access, preserves meaningful distinctions, organizes headings and subheadings, reconciles terminology, and improves useful see and see also paths. Cross-reference destinations remain navigable in the finished workspace.

A keyword is not automatically a locator. IndexPDF grounds retained locators in exact source passages and surfaces unresolved cases for review instead of silently accepting them.

Priority review focuses on flagged blockers and unresolved subject-heading issues without marking every page complete. Full review covers every eligible page and generated mention, including pages where no mention was found. You can switch modes without losing prior decisions or full-review progress.

Neither path replaces final publication approval. See how IndexPDF keeps review connected to evidence, then export the approved hierarchy, locators, groups, and cross-references as Markdown.
