| 5 | NAME
|
|---|
| 6 | pdftohtml - Portable Document Format (PDF) to HTML converter (version
|
|---|
| 7 | 4.00)
|

|

| 9 | SYNOPSIS
|
|---|
| 10 | pdftohtml [options] PDF-file HTML-dir
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 13 | Pdftohtml converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to HTML.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | Pdftohtml reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and places an HTML file for
|
|---|
| 16 | each page, along with auxiliary images in the directory, HTML-dir. The
|
|---|
| 17 | HTML directory will be created; if it already exists, pdftohtml will
|
|---|
| 18 | report an error.
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|---|
| 21 | Pdftohtml reads a configuration file at startup. It first tries to
|
|---|
| 22 | find the user's private config file, ~/.xpdfrc. If that doesn't exist,
|
|---|
| 23 | it looks for a system-wide config file, typically /usr/local/etc/xpdfrc
|
|---|
| 24 | (but this location can be changed when pdftohtml is built). See the
|
|---|
| 25 | xpdfrc(5) man page for details.
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | OPTIONS
|
|---|
| 28 | Many of the following options can be set with configuration file com-
|
|---|
| 29 | mands. These are listed in square brackets with the description of the
|
|---|
| 30 | corresponding command line option.
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | -f number
|
|---|
| 33 | Specifies the first page to convert.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | -l number
|
|---|
| 36 | Specifies the last page to convert.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | -z number
|
|---|
| 39 | Specifies the initial zoom level. The default is 1.0, which
|
|---|
| 40 | means 72dpi, i.e., 1 point in the PDF file will be 1 pixel in
|
|---|
| 41 | the HTML. Using '-z 1.5', for example, will make the initial
|
|---|
| 42 | view 50% larger.
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | -r number
|
|---|
| 45 | Specifies the resolution, in DPI, for background images. This
|
|---|
| 46 | controls the pixel size of the background image files. The ini-
|
|---|
| 47 | tial zoom level is controlled by the '-z' option. Specifying a
|
|---|
| 48 | larger '-r' value will allow the viewer to zoom in farther with-
|
|---|
| 49 | out upscaling artifacts in the background.
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | -skipinvisible
|
|---|
| 52 | Don't draw invisible text. By default, invisible text (commonly
|
|---|
| 53 | used in OCR'ed PDF files) is drawn as transparent (alpha=0) HTML
|
|---|
| 54 | text. This option tells pdftohtml to discard invisible text
|
|---|
| 55 | entirely.
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | -allinvisible
|
|---|
| 58 | Treat all text as invisible. By default, regular (non-invisi-
|
|---|
| 59 | ble) text is not drawn in the background image, and is instead
|
|---|
| 60 | drawn with HTML on top of the image. This option tells pdfto-
|
|---|
| 61 | html to include the regular text in the background image, and
|
|---|
| 62 | then draw it as transparent (alpha=0) HTML text.
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | -opw password
|
|---|
| 65 | Specify the owner password for the PDF file. Providing this
|
|---|
| 66 | will bypass all security restrictions.
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | -upw password
|
|---|
| 69 | Specify the user password for the PDF file.
|
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 | -q Don't print any messages or errors. [config file: errQuiet]
|
|---|
| 72 |
|
|---|
| 73 | -cfg config-file
|
|---|
| 74 | Read config-file in place of ~/.xpdfrc or the system-wide config
|
|---|
| 75 | file.
|
|---|
| 76 |
|
|---|
| 77 | -v Print copyright and version information.
|
|---|
| 78 |
|
|---|
| 79 | -h Print usage information. (-help and --help are equivalent.)
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | BUGS
|
|---|
| 82 | Some PDF files contain fonts whose encodings have been mangled beyond
|
|---|
| 83 | recognition. There is no way (short of OCR) to extract text from these
|
|---|
| 84 | files.
|
|---|
| 85 |
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 87 | The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:
|
|---|
| 88 |
|
|---|
| 89 | 0 No error.
|
|---|

|
|---|
