' 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.	
'
' Also note that conversion under ASP.NET can be tricky to configure. Please see the following document for advice: 
' http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/faq_files/Converting_Documents_in_Windows_Service_or_ASP.NET_Application_using_PDFNet.pdf
