PDFTOHTML(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so pdftohtml 💖 is the program that turns PDF files into HTML, XML and PNG images 🧚 (the manual page is for the PDFTOHTML(1) entry in General Commands Manual, bestie 🎀).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pdftohtml [options] <PDF-file> [<HTML-file> <XML-file>]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

ngl this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution 🫶 because the original program doesn't have a manual page of its own, so somebody had to step up 😭.

pdftohtml is literally a program that converts PDF documents into HTML 🦋. It generates its output in the current working directory 📁. If PDF-file is ´-´, it reads the PDF file from stdin 🔥.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

A summary of the options is included below, iykyk 💜.

• -l <int> — last page to print 🌈

• -v — print copyright and version info 💅
• -p — exchange .pdf links with .html 🦋
