[htdig-dev] PDF Parser

[Abbie G. <ag...@th...>]

Hi all, I'm up and running, well sort of.=20

I did install HTDig, and pointed it towards a folder with just .html
files in it to test it...and voila got results.  I actually need this to
index pdf files though.

I have so far done the following:
=20
Added to htdig.conf:
external_parsers <http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#external_parsers> :
application/pdf->text/html /opt/www/htdig/bin/doc2html/doc2html.pl
=20
Installed the xpdf rpm
Installed the doc2html directory and scripts
=20
Set the paths for the pdftotext and pdfinfo, as well as setting the path
in doc2html.pl for the pdf2text.pl script
=20
I checked the largest file size of a pdf and increased the max file size
in htdig.conf as well.
=20
I run .rundig -v and it indexes one html document that I have at the top
level.  All permissions on files are fine I actually set them to 777 to
make sure it could get into the folders.  But it doesn't want to index
the pdfs...any ideas... =20
=20
I don't receive any error messages either.
=20
My file setup is /archives/folder/folder...etc
=20
I set htdig start_url at http://192.168.0.25/archives/
=20
I've tried moving a .pdf to the /archives file, but that doesn't work
either.

Thanks!
