The line should be

application/pdf /usr/local/bin/pdftotext %1 -

You left off the redirecting '-'. The txt is never created as a file, it is piped.

Now you should reindex all files for search.

The result will be that if you look in the tiki_file table in the database, the search_data field will now have all of the text that was extracted. You should look here to confirm that your data is there.

I use:

application/msword	        /usr/local/bin/catdoc %1 -
application/pdf	                /usr/local/bin/pdftotext %1 -
application/vnd.ms-excel	/usr/local/bin/xls2csv %1
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint	/usr/local/bin/catppt %1
text/html	                strings %1
text/plain                      strings %1
