You are the man. Sorry about sending two emails, the first time I sent it to just you, but I have found so many postings with this same problem, I wanted to let everyone in on this. There was a space and I would never had guessed. It works like a charm now.

The absolutely critical point is that there MUST not be ANY space characters between the backslash at the end of the line and the newline character. Based on the htdig output you sent, it's obvious that htdig is not even calling doc2html.pl for application/pdf files, but is instead falling back on the pdf_parser. I'll wager there's a space after the backslash on the first line of external_parsers in your config file.
