Is there an accurate way to convert PDF files into HTML?
I tried using the tool available in Acrobat but it's not accurate when it comes to bullets, colours, and breaks in sections.
I have about 65 pages to convert by the end of this week and it's taking forever, especially since I have to use Frontpage (booooo).
Thanks.

Why not create links to existing PDF's, do you have to make them HTML pages?
- Jaline0
yes, I have to put the HTML into a government page, and they have strict rules about this stuff.

is there any reason why you can't open the pdf in Photoshop and do your stuff there?
- Jaline0
I don't have Photoshop at work, and it would be too annoying to ask for.
But thanks for the suggestion. I think I'm going to slack off until I get home, and then work on it there. Frontpage keeps crashing and I feel like torching my computer.

holy crap
open your PDF in Acrobat Pro and save as HTML.
not going to be formatted well though

Jaz, I just started my job yesterday and it's more html-related than designing stuff, so I don't actually need PS.
And I already tried the conversion in Acrobat, so I guess I'm stuck with doing it the old way :(
But thanks everyone :)

she wants html, not an image right?
I would atleast do the export to have a starting point, then just clean it up.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Since I don't have much time, I'll do all the major changes first and then go back and make all the details nicer and clean up the code if I have time after.
