I must be one of many who run htdig (both 3.1.6 & 3.20b4) and doc2html under
RedHat Linux.
As doc2hml.pl works OK on the command line and your server is returning the
correct MIME/type then the probable source of your fault is the
configuration file.
Check your external_parsers: statement most carefully. If you have a '\' at
the end of the line make sure that there is no following whitespace.
Check your entire configuration file for errors. If htdig 3.20b4 finds an
error anywhere then it should give you a message and it may ignore all
following statements.

Subject: [htdig] HELP on Searching PDF files on RedHat Linux v9
