A listing in -v output isn't conclusive. It just means htdig got to the file, but it doesn't necessarily mean it got anything usable out of it. You'd need -vvvv to see what words it's actually putting in the index from a given document.

Acrobat 4 doesn't work very reliably for generating PostScript files in this way. You'd be much better off with doc2html.pl and xpdf. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.9 -- Gilles R.
