Thanks for the link, davido. I spent about 2 minutes searching and turned up dozens of commercial products to do it (many with trial periods), but nothing free. adobe also has an online form where you can enter a URL of a pdf file and they will translate it to html.

Update: never mind, I thought davido had found actual downloadable perl code.

Update: there was an open source tool that makes an image for each page; doubt that meets the OP's requirements, though.

Update: here is a GPL pdf2html converter, written in C++.
<joke>Now all you need is a C++ to perl converter.</joke>
