Package: poppler-utils Version: 0.12.4-1.2 Severity: important I am trying to convert the following two columns PDF document to HTML:
$ wget http://www.hpca.ual.es/~vruiz/papers/ORTIZ04b.pdf pdftohtml completely messes up the output since it is reading in 'layout' mode, using line1 from col1, then line1 from col2... $ pdftohtml -noframes ORTIZ04b.pdf 1.html pdftotext does implement -raw mode and properly dumps the text in 'order' (not in layout mode): $ pdftotext -raw -htmlmeta ORTIZ04b.pdf 2.html pdftotext -htmlmeta is too crude to be used as an HTML generator, therefore -raw option needs to be present in pdftohtml to convert two columns PDF into HTML document properly.
