Hi. In robot_functions.php try changing:

PHP Code:


			
$command = PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF.' '.PHPDIG_OPTION_PDF.' '.$tempfile2;

to the following:

PHP Code:


			
$command = PHPDIG_PARSE_PDF.' '.PHPDIG_OPTION_PDF.' '.$tempfile2.' 2>&1';

And see if it will echo the problem.

Here is the result:

Command is: /usr/local/bin/pdftotext ../admin/temp/5952.tmp 2>&1
Result contains: Array ( [0] => Error: Bad annotation action [1] => Error: Copying of text from this document is not allowed. )
Return value is: 3

Hm, what does this mean?

Arrgh, sure that PDF cannot be copied...

I have tested it with another PDF and it works!

Thanks a lot.
