There are a few possibilities:
1) htdig isn't looking at this config file, but another one, without
the external_parsers definition;
2) there's a typo in the external_parsers definition that isn't showing up
in the text you e-mailed above, e.g. a misspelled word or a space after
one of the backslashes at the end of the first two lines; or
3) there's a definition right above your external_parsers definition that
mistakenly ends with a backslash at the end of the line, causing your
external_parsers definition to be swallowed up by the previous line.
That htdig is attempting to invoke acroread confirms two things: a)
the PDF file is correctly being tagged by the server as application/pdf,
and b) htdig is not seeing a usable definition of an external parser
for that content-type, for any of the reasons outlined above.
