Web Design, Development & Scripts Help

I have just started using a great application (sphider) that indexes websites and provides a search facility (basically a do it yourself google).

This has done a great job of providing a custom search for a site that I am involved with.

Link to sphider site: http://www.sphider.eu/docs.php

It has options to allow the indexing of pdfs, docs, ppts and xls files but it requires various binaries to be available:

pdftotext
catdoc
catppt
xlstocsv

Are any of these already installed or some possible alternatives that may work?
I am most interested in the pdfs being indexed and possibly .docs

Thanks

I'll look into this for you now.

Can you open a support ticket with your account details and we can hopefully get these installed for you.
