I assume you mean "Microsoft Word - Activity Report July2002.doc" shows up as the title in search results. This is a common thing with PDF files. We have a lot that are made from WordPerfect documents, and we'd get things like "D:\......\foo.wpd" showing up as titles. This is because when the PDF is generated from a word processing document, the PDF's title field is set to the original document file name. It can easily be changed afterward in Acrobat Exchange, but this step is often forgotten. pdf2html.pl extracts the PDF's title field using the pdfinfo utility, but it's only giving you what's already in the PDF. It's only if the title field is empty that pdf2html.pl will use the PDF file name as the title. -- Gilles R.
