Somebody who use RealURL has to check if it works. May be Martin?. As I wrote above it also works for all files, so
the (html|pdf) part is may be not nesessary.

I tried very many times in different combinations, the RewriteBase works not properly with windows for me.
You have allways specify the slash before the file [->  /index.php ]. So downwards directories like mydomain/mypath/typo3rootdir
do not work at all!

My suggestion:
--- snip ---
# Main URL rewriting.
# The example will rewrite all *.html and *.pdf files to index.php
# This may be helpful when using an extension that can generate PDF files
# on the fly.
# uncomment this, if you use windows and simulateStaticDocuments does not work (only for the website root directory)
# RewriteRule .*\.(html|pdf)$ /index.php   [L]
RewriteRule .*\.(html|pdf)$ index.php
--- snip ---
