I asked xpdf's author a while back to include the file name in error
messages.  If you are spidering it will be a temporary file, though,
so not much help.

That's only available in SWISH-E Professional Edition SP4.


No, it's a good idea.  It's a bit of a problem to do it portably.


You might be able to edit SWISH/Filter.pm and in the run_program()
function change:


   close $fh;

to

   close $fh || warn "@_ didn't run correctly";

Then you get something like:

spider.pl default http://localhost/apache/x.pdf >/dev/null
/usr/local/lib/swish-e/spider.pl: Reading parameters from 'default'
Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
