Hi All, Thank you all for your help. We took the easy way out for now by putting in the .pdf and .PDF in the bad_extensions line in the htdig.conf. We'll be going forward with making htdig reference the pdf files in the near future.

If you really want to index the PDFs, you should probably start by reading http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.9. If you don't care about the PDFs and just want to get rid of the message, it would probably be easiest to just add .pdf to the bad_extensions attribute. http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#bad_extensions Btw, I suspect what is happening is that you are getting the message you refer to each time cron tries to execute rundig. Not each time someone uses the search engine on your site. The site search calls htsearch which doesn't try to parse PDFs or do anything with cron.
