in reply to Convert PDF to HTML (or JPEG)

What kind of conversion do you expect?

PDF is a printformat with fixed geometry and linebreaks. Each character is positioned individually, the bigger context is (per default) lost.

(Normal) HTML defines texts (lines and paragraphs) which are flexibly drawn and broken dependent on the users display.

Cheers Rolf

UPDATE: you might want to look at solutions using xpdf-tools like pdf2html which produces HTML-files (+ massive CSS) with fixed positioned text... that's what you want?
