It certainly sounds like your PDFs don't contain any indexable text.
pdf2html.pl uses pdftotext, which is part of the xpdf package, as the
conversion tool to get the text from the PDFs. You don't happen to
mention which version of xpdf you're running. Make sure you have the
latest version (see http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/). If pdftotext can't get
any usable text from your PDFs (you can try running it manually to see),
then there's not a whole lot else you can do to make use of these files.
