Greetings Abbie, If you look a bit earlier on in the output, does it say something like "! UNABLE to convert" or "!! Unable to execute pdftotext at /.../pdf2html.pl line 34."?
If it says the first, you'll have to edit your file /opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html/doc2html.pl -- line 77 should be something like my $PDF2HTML = '/.../pdf2html.pl'; # full pathname of pdf2html/pl script where '/.../pdf2html.pl' is the path to your pdf2html.pl script. (Type 'which pdf2html.pl' to find it.) If it says the second, you'll have to edit your pdf2html.pl file. At about line 20, should be the line my $PDFTOTEXT = "/usr/bin/pdftotext"; (Replace the path with your own path, from 'which pdftotext'.) Regarding highlighting words, ht://Dig *does* highlight the words in the excerpt if they are there. If your excerpt is too small to contain the search terms, you can increase the max_head_length attribute. In the standard rundig it is 10,000 bytes. If your max_head_length is longer than your document length and you are still not getting the words highlighted, let us know. Out of interest, how did you overcome your earlier problem of ht://Dig not finding the documents at all?
