All,
I tried using Acroread on my FreeBSD system (using Linux compatibility mode
since Acroread isn't available for FreeBSD), but wasn't having any luck. I
found the 'xpdf' program available at http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ which
comes with a 'pdftops' utility program. To use this program, I had to
modify 'htdig' so that it wouldn't include the '-toPostScript' command
option and would completely specify the output filename, like this:
# diff PDF.cc.orig PDF.cc
149c149
< acroread << " -toPostScript " << pdfName << " " << tmpdir << " 2>&1";
---
> acroread << " " << pdfName << " " << psName << " 2>&1";
Perhaps future versions of 'htdig' can generalize the 'pdf_parser'
attribute such that this modification would not be necessary when using
programs other than Acroread. Just a thought...
