Running The Program
Commandline Example: ./pdf-processor.pl --inputdir /export/data_carver_processors/pdf_exam --output pdf-index --plugindir /export/data_carver_processors/pdf-plugins --ini /export/data_carver_processors/pdf_processor.ini
After the program has gone through the documents, bring up your favorite web browser and open up the file you gave it with the --output option. In the above case, I would open up pdf-index.html in the directory where I ran pdf-processor.pl from.

Other Notes
Feedback: Please send me an email with any features/plug-ins you would like to see. If you find any errors with the scripts, let me know. I am also interested any plug-ins you want to share. If you like the program, let me know, too. I don't mind positive feedback.
Errors: As the script runs over the files you may see some errors outputted. The errors are from the programs running on the recovered files. Not all of the files that the data carvers recover are good files. Hence, the errors.
