for htdig to be able to process content of PDF file you have to use
external parser = some utility which will convert PDF to htdig
processable format (html or plain text). And it seems that external
converter found in "340RedlineBrochure.pdf" file some problematic places
when trying to convert it. It might be pdftotext, pstotext ...

You might want to look into htdig.conf file to see which converter you
use and run it from command line to be sure error message was generated
there.

So in general, if that's the case, conversion itself might be ok, only
your PDF file is partly damaged or its structures are not fully
compliant with Adobe standard.
