About PDF to HTML

The text of the PDF is written into a single HTML file that opens in any browser and can be edited with any text or web editor.

It works with PDFs that contain real text. Scanned pages are pictures and give no text. Complex layouts with columns, tables and positioned graphics will not look identical to the PDF.

What to expect

  • Text comes through and can be edited in any text or web editor.
  • Simple one-column documents give the cleanest result.
  • Columns, tables and positioned graphics will not match the PDF layout.
  • Scanned pages give no text, because they are pictures.

Questions

Will it look exactly like the PDF?

No. PDF places every word at a fixed position, while web pages flow. Expect the text and its order, not a copy of the layout.

Are images included?

The HTML file focuses on the text. Use Extract Images from PDF to save the pictures separately.

Does it work with scans?

No. Scanned pages contain images of text, not text.
