I run htdig on a BSDI 3.1 box; acroread does not have a port for it, but I
have pdftops.
When I set the param up in my htdig.config file as follows:
pdf_parser: /usr/contrib/bin/pdftops
I get the following result:
________________________________________________________________________
Usage: pdftops [-f <int>] [-l <int>] [-h] [-help] <PDF-file> [<PS-file>]
-f : first page to print
-l : last page to print
-h : print usage information
-help: print usage information
PDF::parse: cannot open acroread output
________________________________________________________________________
when I set it up like:
pdf_parser: /usr/contrib/bin/pdftops %src %dest
I get the following result:
________________________________________________________________________
PDF::parse: cannot find acroread
________________________________________________________________________
What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Joe
