My notes, from a recent installation, include this link to the FAQ:

   http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.8

Read also 4.9

I then installed the xpdf package to get the required tools.  I also 
configured doc2html.pl to point to the conversion tools I had 
installed.

That should get you started.

I forgot to mention: You'll also want this contributed script:
