Thanks for everyone's suggestions on my problem yesterday. A new one: I am running into trouble with external conversion- it is not working.
Basically I have 3 types of files I want to convert - MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, and PDF. I have installed a utility for each in /usr/local/bin: xlhtml for excel, ppthtml for powerpoint, pdftohtml for pdf. Each generates standard output to the screen just fine when called from the command line, and when output is directed to a file, it is created as "text/html" so I thought that it would work to have them tagged as external converters via htdig.conf. The htdig.conf file is as follows: .... external_parsers: application/vnd.ms-excel->text/html /usr/local/bin/xlhtml \ application/vnd.ms-powerpoint->text/html /usr/local/bin/ppthtml \ # application/pdf->text/html "/usr/local/bin/pdftohtml -noframes -I -stdout" ... On htdig run through rundig, I get a header-line input that says "content-type: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, not HTML" and then it moves onto the next item. It doesn't even work for the pdf. Then for each file I get a "deleted, no excerpt" when it goes to merge. I feel like I am following the formatting correctly. I have tried different versions of the application type (msword, ms.word, doc, etc.). I am running OS X so these were the specific application types it listed (using file -i). Thanks for any suggestions.
