The error message come from pdftotext. Even if it did show the file name it was trying to read at the time, it still wouldn't be helpful, because it's reading the PDF from a temporary file at that point. If you run "htdig -v", you'll see what URL it's working on at the time the error occurs. You may not even have to do that, though. Just search for the biggest PDF you have, and set max_doc_size to something larger than its size. The error above is because the PDF was truncated.
