Your config. file looks OK, but check that you don't have a space after any of those end-of-line \ characters.
Have you checked that the /usr/share/htdig/parse_doc.pl script runs OK from the command line and does extract text from the .PDF files in question? In the long run you should consider changing to use an external converter, rather than parse_doc.pl The doc2html.pl script will provide more diagnostic information, including how many characters it has extracted from each document. -- David Adams Computing Services Southampton University ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thierry FLORAC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 12:42 PM Subject: [htdig] PDF files indexing... > > Hi, > > I'm actually using ht/dig-3.1.5, to index informations stored on a Debian > GNU/Linux Apache server. > My problem(s ?) is that I can't index PDF files correctly.
