NAME
pdftohtml – program to convert PDF files into HTML, XML and PNG images
SYNOPSIS
pdftohtml [options] <PDF-file> [<HTML-file> <XML-file>]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pdftohtml command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
pdftohtml is a program that converts PDF documents into HTML. It generates its output in the current working directory. If PDF-file is ‘-‘, it reads the PDF file from stdin.
