G'day,
I'm fairly new to the htdig environment, and am quite happy with the
service that htdig has provided me. Although, htdig is quite touchy (
it bus cores on me at least once a week ), I feel that the product is
quite stable.
One problem though. I'm using htdig 3.1.1 for SUNOS 4.1.4, built with
gnu 2.7.2.3. Every time I try to dig pdf files, acroread is invoked to
the $DISPLAY.
I've checked the source and decided that my acroread requires a
-toPostScript flag. After some tweaking here and there, I decided that
it would be best to go with xpdf pdftotext.
One thing that I noticed is that the htdig-3.1.1/contrib/parse_doc.pl is
quite old and does not explain where to get the xpdf/pdftotext from. Is
there a reason why contrib/parse_doc.pl has not been updated with what I
consider to be a working parse_doc.pl from
http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/htdig/rpms/parse_doc.pl (Thanks Gilles!)
Also, the FAQ, is quite confusing on this subject. I think it would be
easier to understand the process with a working parse_doc.pl, IMHO :)
Cheers,
