Dear Frank Küster, Dear Karl Berry
Thank you both for your very helpful inputs.
Following your hints, I hacked my perl script so that it
now formats the index as per the TeXLive directory
structure.
I think that the result is much improved - see
http://users.skynet.be/watermael/demo/TeXLive_FRAMES.html
I use Glyph & Cog's pdftotext.exe from TeXLive
(c:\texlive2005\bin\win32\pdftotext.exe) to extract text
from the pdf.
I would try to get metadata out as well or instead, if only I knew how.
I had a quick look at the other Glyph & Cog utilities in \bin\win32\
(pdffonts.exe, pdfimages.exe, pdfinfo.exe, pdfthumb.exe)
but without much joy
I use Leo Charre's module Image::Magick::Thumbnail::PDF
to make the thumbnails. I think a thumbnail picture of the first
page of each pdf is very helpful - but maybe you will
say that all this is taking up too much space (420 gifs
and 31 html files, 3.47MB total).
Meilleures salutations
