If you are using version 3.0 of doc2html, then script doc2html.pl calls a
separate script, pdf2html.pl, to do the conversion. This script in turn
calls pdfinfo and pdftotext from the xpdf package.
1) Try using both pdfinfo and pdftotext from the command line.
If they don't work then either you hav'nt installed them properly or
there is
something wrong with your .PDF file.
2) Call pdf2html.pl from the command line:
<full path name>pdf2html.pl <pathname to .PDF file>
to check that it is producing HTML output.
3) If it does not work then check your installation of pdftotext, and
your tailoring of pdf2html.pl.
4) Else if it does work then try doc2html.pl from the command line:
<full path name>doc2html.pl <pathname to .PDF file> application/pdf
Name
Hope that helps.
