Post subject: PDF document to HTML pages using Acrobat?
Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>apps, others (more info?)

Bunch of seminar presentations in PDF format: 30-50 pp, 2-4 MB each.

Would like to auto-create HTML versions of these also, one page per page
(but lowered resolution OK) so that web site visitors could flip thru
the HTML version before deciding whether to download the
higher-resolution PDF version.

Made a couple of attempts to do this using Acrobat Standard 7.0 on Mac
OS 10.3.9; ended up with distorted graphics, wrong page shapes, not
always one to one correspondence between PDF pages and HTML pages.

Appreciate advice and hints on how to do this, preferably in Acrobat,
alternatively in Illustrator or Photoshop Elements.

[Messier current workaround is to export the PDF documents as JPEG or
GIF images, then make a web page of each collection using photo
cataloging tools, e.g. iView MediaPro or iPhoto.]

Thanks . . .

What benefit do you hope to achieve? These days, everyone who has web
access can view PDF content in a web browser easily. I don't know how
you would get the result you want, but why bother?

1) Sitting in home office, on major university campus: the only
currently available broadband at this point is DSL, and I'm actually
slightly beyond the legal range. Ergo, 384K download rate at best.
Downloading a 3 or 4 MB PDF is a "sit and wait process" for 10-20
seconds at least before anything appears (and at weekend cottage, access
is 20K dial-up only).

3) Downloading a PDF means it shows up on your HD. If you don't happen
to want it you eventually have to delete. If you want to keep it and
save it under a name you prefer rather than it's original name, have to
do the Save process, find and erase the original copy, put the saved
copy where you want it on your HD.

4) Downloading in browser, viewing in Acrobat, means jumping back and
forth between apps and windows -- not a biggy, but not a clean process
either.

Being able to "click, click, click" through first few frames of the
document more or less instantly before deciding to download whole thing
or not is very handy, IMHO (and experience) at any rate.
