With more information we can make better informed guesses.
Do you ONLY get "no excerpt" with PDF files?
Are you using doc2html or conv_doc to index other types of document, and are
they OK?
Are you doing a simple run of htdig followed by htmerge, or something more
complicated, such as merging two or more runs of htdig?
Have you tried producing a log from doc2html? - This will report on how many
bytes of text it has extracted from each file.
Do the PDF files contain words which are not in your bad words list?
