Re: [htdig] Deleted, no excerpt with pdf files

Steve,   You must:       Put the full pathname of your Perl binary in the first line of each of your Perl scripts.     Configure doc2html.pl with the full pathname of where you have installed pdf2html.pl.     Configure pdf2html.pl with the full pathnames of where you have installed pdftotext and pdfinfo.   Test pdf2html.pl at the command line:       pdf2html.pl /usr/website/pdfs/phoenix.pdf    If that works then try doc2html.pl:       /opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html.pl /usr/website/pdfs/phoenix.pdf  application/pdf   If that still fails, then you still havn't configured doc2html.pl correctly.   -- David Adams Computing Services Southampton University ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Marshall To: 'David Adams' Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 4:13 PM Subject: RE: [htdig] Deleted, no excerpt with pdf files David   Thanks for responding so quickly:-   I have doc2html.pl located in the /opt/www/htdig/bin directory   (BTW I'm not sure whether you intended "application/pdf" should be substituted)   If I leave it unchanged ("# perl /opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html.pl /usr/website/pdfs/phoenix.pdf  application/pdf") I get   !     'UNABLE TO CONVERT' !!    /opt/www/htdig/bin/: is a directory       with "# perl /opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html.pl /usr/website/pdfs/phoenix.pdf  /usr/local/bin/pdftotext http://foo/file.pdf"   I get   !     'UNABLE TO CONVERT'   but   "# perl /opt/www/htdig/bin/conv_doc.pl /usr/website/pdfs/phoenix.pdf  /usr/local/bin/pdftotext http://foo/file.pdf"   produces a valid html file on the console.   BTW I have to actually type "perl" to run the script?   Regards   Steve Marshall -----Original Message----- From: David Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 March 2002 11:33 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [htdig] Deleted, no excerpt with pdf files Try running doc2html.pl from the command line:       /opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html.pl filename.pdf application/pdf   where filename.pdf is the full path name of a PDF document.   -- David Adams Computing Services Southampton University ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Marshall To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 10:08 AM 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 Steve Marshall ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
