I want to read an existing PDF file, get not only the text, but also the format information like: Font (Bold, Italic),paragraphs,images, tables. Basically I want to write an HTML similar to PDF.

Is there an code library for doing this? I am looking for an Open Source Library.

Regards, Tina Agrawal

  • What about a PDF made from scanned images? Does it contain text? Commented May 21, 2010 at 10:17
  • The PDF contains all Text, images and tables. It might be possible that a word document is converted to PDF Commented May 21, 2010 at 10:35

If you want an exact version of the page, you may need to create an image of the page and put invisble text on it. Can can see some idea of what is possible on our blog at http://www.jpedal.org/PDFblog/2012/08/4-ways-to-convert-pdf-to-html5/ with PDF to HTML conversion.
