pdf2htmlEX is a PDF to HTML converter that transforms documents into web pages while preserving the original layout, fonts, and formatting. It functions as a layout engine and text extractor, mapping PDF coordinate data to HTML and CSS to maintain visual fidelity.
The tool converts PDF content into searchable and selectable native HTML text by embedding original document fonts. It maintains document interactivity by preserving internal links, bookmarks, and outlines, converting them into functional web navigation.
The conversion process supports flexible output structures, allowing documents to be generated as a single file or split into separate files per page for lazy loading. Assets such as styles, fonts, and images can be stored in dedicated directories to optimize browser caching. Selective page export and high-accuracy image rendering with hidden text layers are also available to ensure compatibility with complex files.
