Readme for acroconv.pl Sample external converter for htdig 3.1.4 or later, to convert PDFs using Adobe Acrobat 3's acroread -toPostScript option on UNIX systems. (Use it in place of conv_doc.pl if you have acroread but not pdftotext.) Written by Gilles Detillieux. Usage: (in htdig.conf) external_parsers: application/pdf->text/html /usr/local/bin/acroconv.pl This is a pretty quick and dirty implementation, but it does seem to give functionality equivalent to the now defunct htdig/PDF.cc parser. I'm not a Perl expert by any stretch of the imagination, so the code could probably use a lot of optimization to make it work better.
