Next I'd suggest you run rundig with multiple -v's and output
redirection, and have a look at any error messages in the logfile
generated.
The most simplistic error of course would be that the PDFs are not
linked to (i.e. reachable from) any of the start_url's.
Also, I seem to remember a note (in the sources?) that xpdf wouldn't
work. Could someone else please chime in here?
