It looks as thought you have done everything right in configuring doc2html.
The "! UNABLE to convert!" message comes from doc2html.pl, it means
that doc2html.pl went through its list of converters but failed to find one
for .PDF files. If you execute doc2html.pl on the command line you need to
specify three arguments:
/usr/local/bin/pdf2html.pl filename "application/pdf" url
Your -vvv log includes:
Header line: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
This would seem to be the problem.

Subject: [htdig] Trouble with PDF setup
> Hi. I'm looking for some help regarding PDF files with htdig on an

/usr/local/bin/doc2html.pl
