Good advice. There are a number of things that could be going on here, so you need more output from htdig to narrow things down. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.1 and the related questions to which it refers. > Also, I seem to remember a note (in the sources?) that xpdf wouldn't > work. Could someone else please chime in here? xpdf or its pdftops and pdftotext utilities can't be used as drop-in replacements for acroread in the pdf_parser attribute in 3.1.x releases of htdig. However, pdftotext from the xpdf package can work fine in an external parser or external converter like doc2html.pl. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.9 and http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q1.13 Indeed, this is the preferred way of indexing files, and support for the pdf_parser attribute has been dropped in the 3.2 beta releases. -- Gilles R.
