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.On Linux/Mac, the generated HTML pages could be as beautiful as PDF files.

This program is designed for scientific papers with complicate formulas and figures, therefore precise rendering is 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

PPA, which is not so up-to-date.

ArchLinux

AUR Package, special thanks to Arthur Titeica arthur.titeica@gmail.com

Mac

MacPorts and Homebrew are coming soon

Windows

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

Build from source

Dependency

  • CMake, pkg-config
  • GNU Getopt
  • compilers support C++11, for example
  • GCC >= 4.4.6
  • I heard about successful build with Clang
  • poppler with xpdf header >= 0.20.0 (compile with --enable-xpdf-headers)
  • Install libpng (and headers) BEFORE you compile poppler if you want background images generated
  • Install poppler-data if your want CJK support
  • fontforge (with header files)
  • git version is recommended to avoid annoying compilation issues
  • [Optional] ttfautohint
  • run pdf2htmlEX with --external-hint-tool=ttfautohint to enable it

Compiling

cmake . && make && sudo make install

Usage

pdf2htmlEX /path/to/foobar.pdf
