[poppler] pdftohtml does not preserve fonts

[Josh Richardson]

Ok, sent you a read-only access invitation for now.  Thanks for your offer to help.  Here is my bigger issues list to get a flavor – a lot of fun things to do.  Let me know what you want to do with pdftohtml!


 1.  Translate drawing operations into canvas with SVG
 2.  Find better way to calculate vertical positioning, by looking at browser source code
 3.  z-index handling -- currently text is never masked by graphics
 4.  Algorithmic extraction of TOC
 5.  Algorithmic extraction of page numbering (Alec may be working on this)
 6.  Algorithmic identification of chapters
 7.  Right-to-left text, proper display (e.g. Arabic, Hebrew)
 8.  Algorithmic detection of text flow (Stephen may be working on this)
 9.  Detection / removal of duplicate images
 10. Jpg vs. png selection; automatically choose the best format for each image

Sure ! Do you have a link for the repo so that I can already have a look (I didn't figure out which one it is right now) ? I'm really interested in helping you, if you need something on any specific topic don't hesitate. Many thanks again,

Clément

Can you give me a couple of days?  I want to try to get a repo hosted on,
e.g. bitbucket, which is connected to my repo, so that it's easier to keep
everything in synch.  Alec Taylor set up a repo there already, which you
can use to get an immediate snapshot if needed.

Best, --josh
