Hello Jim,
sad, but I was using xpdf 0.92, downloaded the source and recompiled
0.92 (just to be sure), but no go. Downloaded pdftohtml 0.31 and
compiled it, but again, it didn't helped.
Amusing, from checking all the README/INSTALL, the rc4 source and
Decrypt.cc, it looks as it would be pretty illegal in some countries,
what I'm trying to do, where I just want to display some .pdf as .html
on my own machine?
Looks as if I had to switch to pdftotext, since it's used by
parse_doc.pl, which I setup in htdig.conf as external parser and this
works fine, but I liked the idea of having the pictures and the nice
html with frames in my output too..;-(
Regards
Michael Heiming
