#1 PDF's Not Being Produced

Problem: Pdf's are not being produced using Crocsdb.

Cause: Crocsdb uses ldp_print (a front end perl script
fix for older versions of htmldoc) to generate the
pdf's. If you do not have ldp_print installed (it does
not come with dbsgml-toolbox) crocsdb will not produce
pdf's.

Fix: Search crocsdb for the "ldp_print" line which
looks like this:

ldp_print $BIG_HTML/$NAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"_big.html"
2>>$DOC_LOG_FILE;

and replace it with this one (all one one line):
htmldoc --color --size universal -t pdf -f
$BIG_HTML/$NAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"_big.pdf" --firstpage
p1 --header t --footer h/D
$BIG_HTML/$NAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"_big.html"

This bug will be fixed on the next release
(dbsgml-toolbox-0.1.01).

    Actually, the new lines should be:

    htmldoc --color --size universal -t pdf -f
    $BIG_HTML$NAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"_big.pdf" --firstpage p1
    --header t --footer h/D
    $BIG_HTML$NAME_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"_big.html"
