According to Neil Brewer: > I'm using htdig with pdftotext and parse_doc.pl to index all of my pdf > files.

Well, it looks like a problem with that particular PDF file, or the xpdf package, or both. Either way, it's not an htdig problem and there isn't much we can do about it. Make sure you have the latest version of xpdf (from http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/), and if the problem persists and you know the PDF file is correct, then you may want to bring up the matter with xpdf's author. On an unrelated note, you may want to consider abandoning parse_doc.pl in favour of conv_doc.pl or doc2html.pl. It won't solve this problem, but it may help with other problems you're likely to run into. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.9 -- Gilles R.
