Hello,
Just wondering if there are any software packages available for Windows 9x that are able to convert PDF files to HTML? (Or from PDF to any format that can then be coverted to HTML? It is really quite tedious to manually copy and paste text from 80+ page PDF files into FrontPage and Dreamweaver.)

Adobe circulate seems to work pretty well for that, Although it does not convert straight into HTML, it will convert to WORD and that is easy enough to convert to html.

Hope this is some help.

Thanks very much for replying! If you don't mind I just wanted to ask a follow-up question...can Adobe Circulate convert PDF documents into other formats besides Word's? Although converting to Word is definitely an option, the problem is that Word 2000 uses proprietary (non-standard) HTML code that can be reduced but not eliminated if you try to create web pages in it. If you could please write back when convenient it would be greatly appreciated...thanks again!

What I do is this,,, In our Secured Client Area, we use .asp and put in a no cache code. We then add an Active-X control to insert the PDF into the page. No one can cache then, or go straight to then, without logging in. If your problem is you don'twant to have to make sure your visitors have Reader, I would save the PDF's as a GIF/JPG, (I have to do this for some of our clients, this can be easily done w/ Photoshop 5.5,)
Is this what you were asking for?
Good Luck.

While I am not yet familiar with .asp, thanks for the suggestion about using Photoshop to save in gif/jpg format.
