Hi. Do you have Ghostscript installed? What do you get when you try to run pstotext on a PDF from the command line?

Hi. What version of PHP are you running? When you run pstotext does the text show in the command window? Also, how did you set the following?
PHP Code:
define('PHPDIG_INDEX_PDF',false);
define('PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF','/usr/local/bin/pstotext');
define('PHPDIG_OPTION_PDF','-cork');

Hi. PHP 4.2.2/3 seems to have problems dealing with external binaries. Upgrading your PHP should solve the problem. If you don't want to upgrade, then try the code posted in this thread.

Hi. Are the directories to pstotext, and the pstotext file, all set to 755 permissions? What happens when you run the following from the command line?
Code:
/usr/local/bin/pstotext -cork filename.pdf

Hi. What version of PhpDig are you using? Just to be sure, is /usr/local/bin/pstotext the correct path?

Also, try doing as in this thread. What onscreen output do you get?

I have had the same problem with pstotext. But when we upgraded our system from kernel 2.2.14-5.0 to 2.4.25 on a Linux system all problems with external binaries (also pdftotext) disappeared! By the way: I foud out that pdftotext is a bit faster, you do not need to install ghostscript and the recognized words are more. Just do a full install of xpdf (not only the pdftotext-file).
