I've actually been using this to convert large PDF files to HTML to be displayed in-browser. It's for my work, so I don't feel comfortable posting a link to the demo instance here.<p>It is definitely the best solution I've found so far. The outputted HTML / CSS / images look almost identical to the source PDF. That being said, there are a few issues still:<p>* One Gigantic (600kb) CSS file from a single PDF<p>* Hundreds of individual fonts<p>* HTML semantics are non-existent<p>These are all relatively easy to fix, I believe. I have found my own solutions to most of the issues in post-processing.<p>Kudos to you, coolwanglu. Also, I'd like to get in touch with you about lending a hand to fix some of the issues I've encountered.<p>Thanks for a cool piece of software!
Can anyone recommend an equally good opposite (HTML to PDF)?<p>wkhtmltopdf [0] is probably the most popular, but it's also ridiculously buggy.<p>0: <a href="https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/" rel="nofollow">https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/</a>
This works and displays correctly, but is unbearably slow on iPad 2 whereas the PDF loads instantly. What is the point then or does it work a lot better in desktop browsers?
Interesting. So it converts all vector graphics to a background image per page, but keeps all text as browser-rendered on top of it.<p>I guess I don't really see much practical purpose for it -- most browsers these days seem perfectly fine opening PDF files natively, after all. But it's a very cool technological demonstration.<p>Maybe this could be some kind of bridge tool for generating sites with fancy typographical layout? You could use Adobe Illustrator etc. to do fancy column work, drop caps, hyphenation, all that jazz -- and then "render" into HTML. It would certainly be as anti-"responsive" as you can get, but it would certainly have the ability to generate more advanced typography much faster than you can produce with HTML/CSS by hand.
I do this almost daily. I use a PDF converter driver found on the internet . Install it and it becomes a selectable converter option.Then you can convert PDFs to many forms in any program at all, including Adobe Acrobat . Just open a PDF, select convert, and choice a form you want, the task will be finished in several seconds. if you haven't found a good choice , you can have a try. best wishes. <a href="http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/csharp-imaging/pdf-convert-html/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rasteredge.com/how-to/csharp-imaging/pdf-convert-...</a>
Question, does your public folder periodically delete files?
I accidentally uploaded something confidential and it seems to be gone. I was wondering if this was a manual deletion or just expired since I still see files that were uploaded around the same time still there.
