I've never tried this myself, but the first thing I'd attempt would be to set the LANG environment variable to a non-UTF-8-based locale before calling htdig. E.g. add "export LANG=fr_FR" to your rundig script (but be certain that LC_COLLATE is set to "C" when calling htmerge, if you're using one of the 3.1.x releases of ht://Dig). I suspect that pdftotext may look at LANG or other locale-related environment variables to determine what it should output. I'm not sure about catdoc, though, as it tends to use its own character set tables. (See "man catdoc" and look for the -s and -d options, which you can set in the catdoc command line in doc2html.pl, once you know what charsets your Word documents use.) -- Gilles R.
