I could have given you the very good answer given to you by
Dirk Weigenand: "Do you have an xdp representation of that
PDF file? If so you can use xslt to transform the form to html."

But as Dirk says: it's a "beast" (meaning it's not very elegant),
and it's "not very useful if you have multiple pages since then
those will be displayed one over another."

Based on the innocent tone of your question, I assumed that
your next question would be: "what is an XDP representation?"
but then I would know you have no clue about what you are
asking, and it would take too much time to explain.

In one of my previous posts to the mailing list, I told the story
of a teacher in primary school that asked ignorant students to
fetch him "a bucket of electricity" on April Fool's day.
I hope you understood this was a joke: fetching a bucket of
electricity is nonsense; and IMHO so is asking to convert a
PDF form to an HTML form.

If you don't have the XDP representation, no XFA, just the
PDF form (AcroForm), you can retrieve the field names and
types from the PDF, the values, and some other stuff; you
could use this information to create a form in HTML, but
there's no way you are going to be able to create an HTML
that resembles the original PDF.

If you want a serious answer to your question, you will
have to rephrase it so that we can take it seriously.

best regards,
Bruno
