Re: PDF convertion

[John Punshon]

There is an open-source program called pdf2html that you can use if you haven't got adobe professional.

Also, I know this is not really plucker related, but there are two different pdf reader programs for palm (one of them open source, the other is commercial dataviz documents-to-go) and a commercial program called repligo that does a really good job of transforming a pdf into its proprietary reader format.

Adobe does the right thing when you export to HTML, and if it is
impossible to get the text out of the images (such as a diagram), then
it will just export it as an image, with the standard <img src.. />
tag, which Plucker understands. You might have to clean up the HTML a
bit after Adobe is finished with it, but it does work for some users.
