Introduction

pdf2htmlEX renders PDF files in HTML, utilizing modern Web technologies, aims to provide an accuracy rendering, while keeping optimized for Web display.

It is optimized for modern web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox & Google Chrome.

This program is designed for scientific papers with complicate formulas and figures, so a precise rendering is also the #1 concern. But of course general PDF files are also supported.

Features

  • Single HTML file output
  • Precise rendering
  • Text Selection
  • Font embedding & reencoding for Web
  • Proper styling (Color, Transformation...)
  • Links
  • Optimization for Web

Not supported yet

  • Type 3 fonts
  • Non-text object (Don't worry, they will be rendered as images)

Get started

Ubuntu

There is a Ubuntu PPA set up at here.

ArchLinux

Special thanks to Arthur Titeica for the AUR Package.

Build from source

Dependency

  • CMake, pkg-config
  • compilers support C++11, for example
  • GCC >= 4.4.6
  • I heard about successful build with Clang
  • libpoppler with xpdf header >= 0.20.0 (compile with --enable-xpdf-headers)
  • Install libpng (and headers) BEFORE you compile libpoppler if you want background images generated
  • Install poppler-data if your want CJK support
  • fontforge (with header files)

Build On Windows

I've tested with CYGWIN without any problem, and I believe it also works on MinGW without many modifications.

Compiling

cmake . && make && sudo make install

Usage

pdf2htmlEX /path/to/foobar.pdf

pdf2htmlEX --help
