Yes, 3.1.5 supports pdf_parser, but the 3.2 betas don't. The reason? pdf_parser is obsolete. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.9 as well as questions 5.2 and 1.13. Acrobat 4 is quite unreliable for this purpose, so we recommend an external converter based on xpdf's pdftotext. If you really want to stick to Acrobat, you may have better luck with version 3, but if you want to use it with 3.2.0b4, you'll need to get a copy of acroconv.pl from http://www.htdig.org/files/contrib/parsers/ -- Gilles R.
