HELP: Convert PDF to HTML

    I have surfed through the Internet, and I found a proper solution for my app, that is: Convert PDF file to Image file.

    I think this way can give a better result than my first idea. Cos' when I used a professional software that convert PDF to HTML, I got a fail result when that program convert a table in a PDF file to HTML: the text in each cell does not stay in its right place :( And I think there will be no error like that when I convert PDF content to Image (at least, as I think, cos I only just a newbie in this subject,hihi : - p )

    Now I have the source code for my 2nd idea, and I'm downloading the Acrobat SDK to use it in .NET.

    Here is the link to that relative topic: http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/5091/2/

    It is about Creating a thumbnail of a PDF file, but I think I can use it, too... just a little change in the code, maybe...

    But I still want many many helps from our friendly public.

    Please tell me what u think about my new solution. Is it really a better way Oops, 'bout me, i think yes...

    you need to use some PDF SDK that maybe available then generate html from it in some way. in .NET there is no direct way since PDF's are not a Microsoft product really but Adobe as well as having no relevance to the .NET Framework itself.

    I believe there are a couple of open source PDF projects you can look at and use and customize the way you want to use the application to your needs

    maybe take a look at this:

    commercial/SDK:

    im sure there are more somewhere
