PDF To HTML

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of converting a PDF file to HTML format using Aspose.PDF for .NET. The PDF format is commonly used to view and share documents, while the HTML format is used to create web pages. By following the steps below, you will be able to convert PDF files to HTML format.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:

  • Basic knowledge of the C# programming language.
  • Aspose.PDF library for .NET installed on your system.
  • A development environment such as Visual Studio.

Step 1: Opening the source PDF document

In this step, we will open the source PDF file using Aspose.PDF for .NET. Follow the code below:

// Path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY";

// Open the source PDF document
Document pdfDocument = new Document(dataDir + "PDFToHTML.pdf");

Be sure to replace "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY" with the actual directory where your PDF file is located.

Step 2: PDF to HTML conversion

After opening the PDF file, we can proceed with the conversion into HTML format. Use the following code:

// Save the file in HTML format
pdfDocument.Save(dataDir + "output_out.html", SaveFormat.Html);

The above code converts the PDF file to HTML format and saves it as "output_out.html" file.

Replace "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY" with the desired directory where you want to save the output HTML file.

Example source code for PDF to HTML using Aspose.PDF for .NET

// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

// Open the source PDF document
