# The following sample illustrates how to use the PDF.Convert utility class to convert 
# documents and files to HTML.
#
# There are two HTML modules and one of them is an optional PDFNet Add-on.
# 1. The built-in HTML module is used to convert PDF documents to fixed-position HTML
#    documents.
# 2. The optional add-on module is used to convert PDF documents to HTML documents with
#    text flowing across the browser window.
#
# The PDFTron SDK HTML add-on module can be downloaded from http://www.pdftron.com/
#
# Please contact us if you have any questions.

    # Initialize() multiple times is also fine.
