Subject: [htdig] Deleted, no excerpt with
pdf files
//htDig is working fine for us with a large intranet 2Gig or
so which is entirely graphics & .html. I want to index pdfs too of
course.
I am running the doc2html.pl script on a very simple (test)
index.html file which links only to a .GIF and small .pdf file.( I have tried
parse_doc & conv_doc too)
I have the latest XPDF, and pdftotext works fine on the same
.pdf at the command line and produces a perfect .txt file
When I run htDig with the -vvvvv option it lists all the lines
in that .pdf file as plain text so it is apparently parsing properly.
However when I try to htmerge I get a "Deleted, no exerpt"
message. The wordlist file is tiny.
I can see from an earlier response that the problem might be
that the parser hasn't emitted a usable "h" record - how would I go about
fixing that? Would this apply to a .txt file - the test output hasn't got any
tags (of course).
This is the only relevant uncommented line in
htdig.conf
external
parsers
application/pdf->text/html /opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html.pl
Any help gratefully appreciated
