I just discovered pdf2htmlEX which is a program to covert PDF files to HTML. The result is pretty nice as shown here: https://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX
Building pdf2htmlEX on Ubuntu/Mint is not so easy if one has not the last version of Ubuntu (for example if your are on the previous LTS).
Here are the main steps.
Add the following PPA to your software sources:
ppa:fontforge/fontforge
First, we need GCC and CMake to compile. We also need the libraries libspiro and fontforge:
sudo apt-get install gcc cmake libspiro-dev libfontforge-dev
Then, we need to build Poppler (the version in the depots is too old for pdf2htmlEX).
- Download the source of Poppler.
If you want version 0.35.0, just use: http://poppler.freedesktop.org/poppler-0.35.0.tar.xz - Extract the file somewhere and use the following commands:
./configure --enable-xpdf-headers make sudo make install
Now, you can build and install pdf2htmlEX:
git clone git://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX.git cd pdf2htmlEX cmake . && make && sudo make install
