| 3 | .SH NAME
|
|---|
| 4 | pdftohtml \- Portable Document Format (PDF) to HTML converter
|
|---|
| 5 | (version 4.00)
|
|---|
| 6 | .SH SYNOPSIS
|
|---|
| 7 | .B pdftohtml
|
|---|
| 8 | [options]
|
|---|
| 9 | .I PDF-file
|
|---|
| 10 | .I HTML-dir
|
|---|
| 11 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 12 | .B Pdftohtml
|
|---|
| 13 | converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to HTML.
|
|---|
| 14 | .PP
|
|---|
| 15 | Pdftohtml reads the PDF file,
|
|---|
| 16 | .IR PDF-file ,
|
|---|
| 17 | and places an HTML file for each page, along with auxiliary images
|
|---|
| 18 | in the directory,
|
|---|
| 19 | .IR HTML-dir .
|
|---|
| 20 | The HTML directory will be created; if it already exists, pdftohtml
|
|---|
| 21 | will report an error.
|
|---|
| 22 | .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|---|
| 23 | Pdftohtml reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to
|
|---|
| 24 | find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't
|
|---|
| 25 | exist, it looks for a system-wide config file, typically
|
|---|
| 26 | /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc (but this location can be changed when pdftohtml
|
|---|
| 27 | is built). See the
|
|---|
| 28 | .BR xpdfrc (5)
|
|---|
| 29 | man page for details.
|
|---|
| 30 | .SH OPTIONS
|
|---|
| 31 | Many of the following options can be set with configuration file
|
|---|
| 32 | commands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of
|
|---|
| 33 | the corresponding command line option.
|
|---|
| 34 | .TP
|
|---|
| 35 | .BI \-f " number"
|
|---|
| 36 | Specifies the first page to convert.
|
|---|
| 37 | .TP
|
|---|
| 38 | .BI \-l " number"
|
|---|
| 39 | Specifies the last page to convert.
|
|---|
| 40 | .TP
|
|---|
| 41 | .BI \-z " number"
|
|---|
| 42 | Specifies the initial zoom level. The default is 1.0, which means
|
|---|
| 43 | 72dpi, i.e., 1 point in the PDF file will be 1 pixel in the HTML.
|
|---|
| 44 | Using \'-z 1.5', for example, will make the initial view 50% larger.
|
|---|
| 45 | .TP
|
|---|
| 46 | .BI \-r " number"
|
|---|
| 47 | Specifies the resolution, in DPI, for background images. This
|
|---|
| 48 | controls the pixel size of the background image files. The initial
|
|---|
| 49 | zoom level is controlled by the \'-z' option. Specifying a larger
|
|---|
| 50 | \'-r' value will allow the viewer to zoom in farther without upscaling
|
|---|
| 51 | artifacts in the background.
|
|---|
| 52 | .TP
|
|---|
| 53 | .B \-skipinvisible
|
|---|
| 54 | Don't draw invisible text. By default, invisible text (commonly used
|
|---|
| 55 | in OCR'ed PDF files) is drawn as transparent (alpha=0) HTML text.
|
|---|
| 56 | This option tells pdftohtml to discard invisible text entirely.
|
|---|
| 57 | .TP
|
|---|
| 58 | .B \-allinvisible
|
|---|
| 59 | Treat all text as invisible. By default, regular (non-invisible) text
|
|---|
| 60 | is not drawn in the background image, and is instead drawn with HTML
|
|---|
| 61 | on top of the image. This option tells pdftohtml to include the
|
|---|
| 62 | regular text in the background image, and then draw it as transparent
|
|---|
| 63 | (alpha=0) HTML text.
|
|---|
| 64 | .TP
|
|---|
| 65 | .BI \-opw " password"
|
|---|
| 66 | Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this will
|
|---|
| 67 | bypass all security restrictions.
|
|---|
| 68 | .TP
|
|---|
| 69 | .BI \-upw " password"
|
|---|
| 70 | Specify the user password for the PDF file.
|
|---|
| 71 | .TP
|
|---|
| 72 | .B \-q
|
|---|
| 73 | Don't print any messages or errors.
|
|---|
| 74 | .RB "[config file: " errQuiet ]
|
|---|
| 75 | .TP
|
|---|
| 76 | .BI \-cfg " config-file"
|
|---|
| 77 | Read
|
|---|
| 78 | .I config-file
|
|---|
| 79 | in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config file.
|
|---|
| 80 | .TP
|
|---|
| 81 | .B \-v
|
|---|
| 82 | Print copyright and version information.
|
|---|
| 83 | .TP
|
|---|
| 84 | .B \-h
|
|---|
| 85 | Print usage information.
|
|---|
| 86 | .RB ( \-help
|
|---|
| 87 | and
|
|---|
| 88 | .B \-\-help
|
|---|
| 89 | are equivalent.)
|
|---|
| 90 | .SH BUGS
|
|---|
| 91 | Some PDF files contain fonts whose encodings have been mangled beyond
|
|---|
| 92 | recognition. There is no way (short of OCR) to extract text from
|
|---|
| 93 | these files.
|
|---|
| 94 | .SH EXIT CODES

| 95 | The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:
|
|---|
| 96 | .TP
|
|---|
| 97 | 0
|
|---|
| 98 | No error.
|
|---|
