I presume we are talking version 3.1.6 here? I had a lot of difficulties with this version in running external parsers, with the same sort of syndrome, ie excerpt deleted. I disabled the acroread invocation (which had worked, as above, when invoked manually to test) and moved directly to pdf2html.pl as below. Curiously, we have only been able to get external parsers to work if they are invoked from a script, as below. Our attempts to run executables directly (as in the disabled Acroread example below) all result in the above syndrome. so we now call the executables from a small script which calls them with four arguments. I might mention that we did not get this problem with v 3.1.4, and currently remain baffled as to the difference.
