Your version is ancient. The current stable release is 3.1.5, so I
suggest you upgrade to it. Also, the behaviour you describe seems to
suggest a problem with a corrupt database, so you should rebuild your
database from scratch.
I don't understand enough about how you're using WWWoffle to substitute
an HTML document for a PDF, so I can't say whether or not you have a
configuration problem here as well.
PDF documents can be indexed, though. You'll need a current version of
htdig, as well as the pdftotext utility from the xpdf package, a Perl
interpreter, and the conv_doc.pl or doc2html.pl script. Under Windows,
you'll also need to patch htdig/ExternalParser.cc, so that it uses "wb",
rather than just "w", as the second argument to the fopen() call that
creates the temporary file. See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q4.9 for
pointers on setting up an external converter.
