Hi,

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

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

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

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

pdf is still better for the size 474173 Oct 23 15:53 swiglib.html 114739 Oct 23 15:55 swiglib.html.7z 90140 Sep 26 11:19 swiglib.pdf

I get similar sizes: 4.7M Oct 23 13:44 MDP.html 3.2M Oct 23 13:45 MDP.html.7z 1.6M Oct 20 13:03 MDP.pdf but it is impressive that it can correctly render the output. I am not sure how it compares with PDF.js in terms of speed and accuracy. One drawback (or advantage, depending on how you want to look at it) is that text cannot be copy pasted. Aditya
