Hi,

I just attended a talk about pdf2htmlEX at the tug 2013 conference ... this looks quite interesting ...

http://coolwanglu.github.io/pdf2htmlEX/

http://soft.rubypdf.com/software/pdf2htmlex-windows-version

It works (mostly) ok on even complex context manuals like metafun-s.pdf and fonts-mkiv.pdf.

1. Is ther a generic Linuz version?

The website contains link to Ubuntu, Arch, and Gentoo packages. Based on the Arch PKGBUILD, installation is equivalent to: git clone git://github.com/coolwanglu/pdf2htmlEX.git cd pdf2htmlEX make install

2. Is this a stepping stone towards a path from a pdf to a kindle and/or an ePub document?

Looking at the generated HTML, I very much doubt that. It is using some heavy CSS to get the exact reproduction. Aditya
