Convert PDF to HTML

Overview

Note

When converting PDF to HTML format, ComPDFKit Conversion SDK provides the following four options to create HTML files:

OptionsDescription
SinglePageConvert the entire PDF file into a single HTML file, where all PDF pages are connected in sequence according to page number, displayed on the same HTML page.

MultiplePagesConvert the PDF file into multiple HTML files. Each HTML file corresponds to a PDF page, and users can navigate to the next HTML file via a link at the bottom of the HTML page.
MultiplePagesNavigationByBookmarksConvert the PDF file into multiple HTML files. Each HTML file corresponds to a PDF page, and users can navigate to the next HTML file via a link at the bottom of the HTML page. The links of all the HTML files are presented in an outline HTML file for navigation.
