Problems with Convert Anything to PalmDoc Format
Authored by: ldrothny on Feb 26, '03 01:57:36PM
I had this problem as well and noticed that both xPDF and txt2pdbdoc are installed in /usr/local/bin which for most of us isn't pathed properly. Your choices are:
-move the xPDF files and txt2pdbdoc files to /usr/bin/ (not recommended)
OR
-set up your path to include /usr/local/bin (not sure the best tip for this)
OR what I did was modify the two lines that referenced the commands as follows:
do shell script "pdftotext "
becomes:
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/pdftotext "
AND
do shell script "txt2pdbdoc "
becomes:
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/txt2pdbdoc "
I also noticed that one of the lines contains:
Users/mdr/Desktop/
instead of:
Users/username/Desktop/
This needs to be replaced with YOUR user name.

After I did these simple things it worked! And I really love it! Thanks to the original poster of this tip.
