Hello Geoff,
thx for the pointer, couldn't find it in the enormous htdig docs.
I finally managed to get it working.
As some .pdf didn't work using my shinny new pdfdisplay.cgi, I ran
pdftohtml from the command line and got the following:
Error: PDF file is encrypted and cannot be displayed
Error: * Decryption support is currently not included in xpdf
Error: * due to legal restrictions: the U.S.A. still has bogus
Error: * export controls on cryptography software.
Error: Couldn't read xref tablem
Gone check if another parser works better.
Regards
Michael Heiming
