Convert pdf file to html file in JavaScriptjquery on client side? - Stack Overflow

Is there a way to convert a pdf file into html file using JavaScript or jquery? Can this be done on client side and run locally?

So far I have only found server side solutions like pdf2htmlEX

Maybe there is library?

Only in nodejs I think. You can run

npm install pdftohtmljs

Then in your server code:

var pdftohtml = require('pdftohtmljs');
var converter = new pdftohtml('file.pdf', "file.html");

// see https://github./fagbokforlaget/pdftohtmljs/blob/master/lib/presets/ipad.js 
converter.convert('ipad').then(function() {
  console.log("converted");
}).catch(function(err) {
  console.log(err);
});

Alternatively, use this software which is easy to use from the mand line.

I doubt this is possible at this moment. Perhaps PDF.js by Mozilla can get you in the right direction:

and the github repo
