Well, having never tried acroread version 5 with htdig, I can only guess and offer other tips. It may be that version 5 doesn't support the -toPostScript command line option, or that the PostScript it generates is different enough from earlier versions that the parser in htdig can't extract the text from it. Try manually running the contrib/acroconv.pl script from your htdig 3.1.6 source directory against one of your PDFs to see if it pulls out anything meaningful. If it doesn't, or if you'd like to try an alternative approach, see http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.9 If acroconv.pl does work, then the internal PDF PostScript parser should too, as long as max_doc_size is big enough for your largest PDF file.
