RE: PDF Indexing
Hi Golda,
I checked the -z option in wgreindex and it was included in both places that
glimpesindex is called out.
I may have another workaround for this perplexing problem. I found a direct
translator from PDF to text. Its called xpdf and it doesn't need ghostview.
The package is a freeware package. I just modified the processpdf.pl script
and it seems to work. I haven't doen much testing yet, but the performance
seems comparable.

Hi Steven - I got your files, but actually I don't have ghostscript
installed myself. Are you sure that glimpseindex has the -z option in
wgreindex? Remember, this is not installed automatically, you have to do
it by hand every time. I'll change that in the next release.
