So it's clear that DirTree.pl is converting the PDF to html, right?

Yet when running indexing you get this, which indicates a broken PDF:

> Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)

> Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
> Error: Couldn't read xref table

And the reason for that is you are taking the converted PDF file
(which is now HTML) and telling swish to run it though pdftotext:


> 	FileFilter .pdf /usr/local/bin/pdftotext   "'%p' -"

Get rid of that line.
