pdf2htmlEX

Build Status

A beautiful demo is worth a thousand words:

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.

Why HTML ?

HTML, together with CSS and Javascript, is much more open and flexible than PDF. Almost everything can be customized.

  • Embedding documents to web pages with consistent theme and behavior
  • Cross references to other documents are much easier and intuitive
  • More functions to the document with Javascript, e.g. access control, animation, statistics

Readers can also be benefitted

  • Read while downloading
  • Plugin-free

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
