Usage: pdf2html [options] -in inputfile -out outputfile
BASIC PARAMETERS:
-in [ -i ] arg The input file. The default input folder is the
current working folder. When running the
application from the console or a BAT file, you may
use relative file names. However, if you are
calling it from an application or a server, we
recommend using absolute file names for robustness.
-out [ -o ] arg The output file. You can also output to HTM
instead by specifying ".htm" as the file extension.
The default output folder is the same folder as
the input. When running the application from the
console or a BAT file, you may use relative file
names. However, if you are calling it from an
application or a server, we recommend using
absolute file names for robustness.
OPTIONS:
-pages arg (=all) Page numbers of pages to be converted. You may
specify a single page number, e.g. 2, or a range of
pages, e.g. 2-6. If omitted, all pages will be
converted.
-fileTimeout arg (=300) The maximum amount of time allowed, in seconds,
for each document conversion. The default timeout
is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
-password arg The master password to open the PDF. The password
must give unrestricted content extraction
permissions.
-quality arg (=85) The image compression quality for JPEG,
from 5 to 100. Quality is ignored for PNG images.
The default quality is 85.
-compress The output image type, either JPEG ("jpeg") or
[ -compression ] PNG ("png"). The default is "jpeg".
arg (=jpeg)
-resolution [ -res ] The resolution for the output images in dots per
arg (=96) inch, from 8 to 600.
The default resolution is 96 dpi.
-embedImages arg Flag to embed images inside the HTML output using
Base64 encoding ("on") or written out as external
JPEG/PNG files ("off"). Embedding images will
produce a larger output file, but the HTML file is
self-contained. When external image files are used,
you must keep them together with the HTML file.
External images are always placed in a separate
directory. If you move or delete your HTML file,
you should also move or delete your images folder
with it. Valid parameter values are "on" and "off".
By default, this option is turned "on" if specified
without an argument. However, if this option is
completely omitted, it defaults to "off".
-title arg The content that goes inside the HTML output's
<TITLE> tag. Please ensure that you use double
quotes when specifying your title,
e.g. -title "PDF converted to HTML". If this option
is not specified, the default title is
"Created by Apryse".
-ocred arg (=image+text) Handling of special OCRed PDFs that only contain
full-page images with hidden selectable text. This
option is only applicable to a PDF produced by an
OCR engine based on a scanned image. Valid
parameter values are "image+text", "text", "image"
and "image+hiddenText". The default option,
"image+text", converts both images and text, making
the hidden text visible in the output. Use "text"
to convert only the text to make the hidden text
visible in the output or "image" to convert only
the images. If you want to convert the background
image and create a hidden selectable text layer
around it using complex JavaScript, use
"image+hiddenText".
-simpleLists arg Flag to use <P> tags ("off") or <LI> tags ("on")
for list items. Turning this flag "on" outputs
lists using <LI> tags and will give you the richest
logical content but with limited physical
formatting capabilities. For best visual accuracy,
turn this flag "off". Valid parameter values are
"on" and "off". By default, this option is turned
"on" if specified without an argument. However,
if this option is completely omitted, it defaults
to "off".
-connectHyphens arg Flag to re-connect basic English dictionary words
that are hyphenated at the end of a line. This
does not remove hyphens from expressions that
require a hyphen, such as "counter-clockwise" or
"well-intentioned". Valid parameter values are "on"
and "off". By default, this option is turned "on"
if specified without an argument. However, if this
option is completely omitted, it defaults to "off".
-symbolToUnicode arg Flag to translate Symbol font to Times New Roman
Unicode. It is not recommended to use Symbol font
in HTML files. We strongly recommend that you leave
this turned "on" unless your HTML is viewed using
Internet Explorer on Windows only. Turning this
"off" may produce HTML that looks corrupt on macOS,
iOS, Android and Linux. Valid parameter values are
"on" and "off". By default, this option is turned
"on" if specified without an argument. It also
defaults to "on" if this option is completely
omitted.
-advanced [ -a ] arg Advanced option to ignore angled text
(IgnoreAngledText=True) and/or vertical text
(IgnoreVerticalText=True).
By default, these are turned off.
-version Print the version number. Only available in Windows.
-silent Switches the application to Silent Mode. Warnings
and progress messages are not displayed. Only
errors that are considered failures are shown.
Only available in Windows.
