I second that recommendation. parse_doc.pl should only be used if you're stuck with a pre-3.1.4 htdig that doesn't handle external converters like conv_doc.pl or doc2html.pl. > From: "Thierry FLORAC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > 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.
