Here are a couple of ways that I thought of
1. PDFZilla
http://www.pdfzilla.com/
I think I got this from a free offer once. Today is the first time I tried
to use it to convert to HTML. It retained the layout but the formatting was
a bit odd - different colours of font, images missing, etc.
2. Save as text in the Adobe reader and use this as the html file
Just to do a quick test, I added
<html>
<body>
at the top and
</body>
</html>
at the bottom of the saved text file
This works but completely loses all formatting
3.
a) Use PDFZilla to convert it to a .doc file.
b) Use Word to save as .html
The .doc file was almost a copy of the .pdf file, except that some text was
superimposed on other text. The .html file saved by Word did not look as
good and would need tidying up a bit. Word is NOT known for generating good
HTML code, and is not recommended for that reason
4. <a href="A_test.pdf">Test pdf </a>
This works quite well, and all that has to be done to get back to the page
is to use the Back button at the top left hand corner (<-)
I think another poster suggested using a frame, which would also work,
especially an iframe. I use this code to display a "news" page in an iframe
<input type="button" value="Open/Close
News of this Site"
title="Open/Close
News of this Site"
onclick="loadIframe('News','news.html')" />
<iframe id="News" src=""></iframe>
This supported by this CSS
iframe#News{
display: none;
overflow: auto;
height: 250px;
width: 400px;
}
and this JS function
function loadIframe(id,sPath) {
var x = document.getElementById(id);
if (x.style.display != 'block') {
x.style.display = 'block';
x.src = sPath;
}
else
{ x.style.display = 'none'; }
} //---------------------------
The height and width of the iframe can be adjusted as required, e.g
height: 600px;
width: 800px;
Keep us posted on what you decide
