NAME

pdftohtml − program to convert PDF files into HTML, XML and PNG images

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the pdftohtml command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
