How does the PDF to HTML work?
Convert a PDF's text into a single, self-contained HTML file. The output uses minimal inline styles (a comfortable line-height, max-width text column) so it reads well in a browser and pastes cleanly into a CMS. Headings are detected via font size; pages are separated by a horizontal rule. Like our PDF to Markdown tool, this is a structured-text conversion — image and visual layout fidelity is intentionally not the goal.
