Converting text to html

H

Holly in the UK

Hi

I am just about to start using Frontpage so forgive me if this is a really
simple question. I have been asked to convert some PDF files to html
(printable) to be linked to a web site. Can I do this with frontpage? I am
hoping I can cut and paste from the PDF's into Frontpage and save as an html.
Is there anything I should be aware of? Thanks in advance!

And BTW, PDF files are not text, but binary files.

No, but you CAN copy and paste.

The full version of Adobe Acrobat allows you to save the
text as RTF and export the images as JPEGs, then you could
rebuild it in HTML. The Sourceforge converter would
probably be easier and cheaper, though.

Copy/Pasting is also dependent on the security settings in
the PDF. It can be blocked.

wrote in message huh....Are you saying you can copy/paste elements from an already created
pdf? I can't see how, I just tried on a pdf I created last week. Or am I
misunderstanding your post...

Hey, I wasn't making any qualitative statements - only that it can be done.

wrote in message oh yeah, but that's almost totally useless...not only do you lose any
formatting, but it's not very selective in what you can highlight/copy (for
instance; a single column of a 3 column spread).
