embeded index in PDF

I have scanned a 369-page book and created a large (40mb) PDF file. I used the OCR feature and can now search for text within the PDF file. However, I cannot create an embeded index and I don't know why.

When I try to create an embeded index, the message indicates that the index was embeded, so I save the file. When I open the file, the message says there is no embeded file.

I can create an catalog index outside of the PDF and that works perfect.

Is it possible that the embeded index doesn't work because it is scanned text converted by an OCR?

Any suggestions would be appreicated.
