Is it ok?

Are you sure this is Pdftotext? Looks like it is another tool.

The limit is for search results.

Based on my numbers (30min to index 1,400 books), I'd say you only need 13/14 hours. Also, my system runs on an SSD, but my library is on a HDD. Of course, that's using full power (7 threads for a 8 virtual cores processor).

I use Calibre 5.37. Win10 and my pc is an Intel i5-4460 (4 cores), 3.20GHz. 16 gb ram. What other settings can be made to make the computer run smoothly while doing the first indexing?

You can reduce the "Number of parallel processes for text extraction". It defaults to N-1, where N = CPU Count (virtual cores). Set it to smaller number, maybe N/2 or N/4.

Is there any way to get the initial indexing to the other pc or do I have to do it again on the other computer?
Thank you very much for your answers.

Don't know.
