Pay especially close attention to http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.8, http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.8, http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.25 and http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.27 There are three main issues to resolve here: 1) is htdig actually finding links to the PDF, Word and Excel documents you want to index? 2) if it is, is it correctly fetching them and passing them on to the appropriate external converter to be able to index them? 3) if it is attempting to convert them, is the external converter doing what it should, to feed some indexable text back into htdig's parser? You need to figure out on which of the three stages the process is failing, and focus on that stage to get to the bottom of why it's not working at that stage. You need to run htdig with anywhere from 1 to 4 -v options, to get the debugging output you need to see where it's failing and why. This may be an iterative process, if htdig is failing at more than one stage: you might fix one problem only to run into another. -- Gilles R.
