it wasn't a config. issue but rather a permissions issue. The scripts were 644 so I chmod to 744 and all is good in the world. I can't believe I wasted a good 4 hours yesterday without noticing this fact. I swear I wasn't getting anything in the log until this morning though....anyway thanks for the responses.

doc2html.pl should be calling pdf2html.pl and so should produce the same output as pdf2html.pl. If you are trying:
doc2html.pl filename.pdf application/pdf
and you don't get good output then you need to check how you have configured doc2html.pl

If pdf2html.pl works OK on the command line then you should find that
external_parsers: application/pdf->text/html /path/to/convertor/htdig/scripts/pdf2html.pl
works. Did you get anything in the doc2html log file? If not, then you havn't configured doc2html.pl to produce one.
