pdf2htmlEX is a command-line tool that converts PDF files into HTML while preserving text, fonts, and formatting using modern web technologies. It supports precise rendering, text selection, font embedding, and offers ~50 options for use cases like PDF preview and online publishing.
Use cases
- convert pdf to html without losing text or format
- publish pdf documents online as web pages
- make pdf text selectable and searchable in the browser
- embed pdf documents in a website without plugins
- convert scanned or complex pdfs with fonts and math formulas to html
- render pdf magazines or books for reading while downloading
When to choose
- you need accurate, high-fidelity pdf-to-html conversion with preserved typography
- you want text selection and font embedding in the output html
- you need a scriptable cli tool with many output options
- you want to publish pdfs as plugin-free interactive web documents
When to avoid
- you need to extract plain text or structured data rather than visual html
- your pdfs rely on Type 3 fonts, which are not yet supported
- you need a maintained library API rather than a standalone converter
- output html file size is a critical constraint without post-processing
