Most likely these particular PDF files are larger than the max_doc_size
attribute you have set in your configuration file. Htdig is only
fetching part of the file and passing this to the conversion utility.
Truncated PDF files cannot be parsed.
You should also consider switching from parse_doc to doc2html, a new
version of which should be available to download shortly.
