Which is exactly the FAQ entry to which I referred John Luna at the start of this thread. That entry details the proper way of using pdftotext with htdig, with links to the relevant sources for scripts and the xpdf package. Also, the documentation for pdf_parser in attrs.html clearly states that: "only Adobe's acroread program has been tested as a pdf_parser." The FAQ and other documentation will only help if you actually follow the advice it gives instead of going off on your own untested tangents. -- Gilles R.
