Four ways to convert PDF to HTML5

There are four ways to convert a PDF file to the HTML5 format, but choosing which one depends on your priorities. The IDR solution has taken more than four years to deal with this problem. We found that HTML5 contains different features than PDFs and therefore does not always match directly. For example, the PDF file format allows for separate control of each text character spacing. You can emulate in HTML5 by putting each character in the div tag it belongs to and creating a large file. Is it more important for you to have a precise layout or a smaller file size in this case?

1. Make the page image and display it as an image in HTML5

Pros: Same appearance

Disadvantage: The file is too large, can not be scaled, the text is not selectable

2, make the page image and display it as an image in HTML5, hidden behind the text

Pros: Look the same and can make text choices

Cons: Files are too large to scale, text may be ignored by search engines

3. Convert all content to equivalent HTML5. Text or text, images or images, vector content can be placed in a canvas or image.

Pros: Smaller file size, perfect text zoom and search

Cons: not completely repeating the PDF layout, font conversion is a lot of work.

4. Convert content to SVG (can be displayed in HTML5)

Pros: SVG usually looks better on text and images than HTML5

Cons: SVG does not provide a key function like a table in HTML5

In practice, we find that the above combination is the best case scenario (if there is a more appropriate option, you can choose a different mode)

You can see some good HTML5 examples on the HTML5 case page of the IDR solution and use different approaches to practice on free online converters.

Which of the above models is best for you?
