Running it with pdftohtml -c -s input output works fine on simple PDFs. PDFtoHTML converts the file properly into the intended html file with para tags. But, when I tried testing it on PDF files (court documents), PDFtoHTML just converts them into a PNG file and then links them in the output html file. So I have an HTML file that just links an image. Sample: </div> <div> <div> <div>  </div> <div> <a name="5"></a> </div> <div> <style type="text/css"> </div> <div>  </div> <div> </style> </div> <div> <div id="page5-div" style="position:relative;width:918px;height:1188px;"> </div> <div> <img width="918" height="1188" src="SEP272019_02A6245005.png" alt="background image"/> </div> <div> </div> </div> <div>  </div> <div> <a name="6"></a> </div> <div> <style type="text/css"> </div> <div>  </div> <div> </style> </div> <div> <div id="page6-div" style="position:relative;width:918px;height:1188px;"> </div> <div> <img width="918" height="1188" src="SEP272019_02A6245006.png" alt="background image"/> </div> <div> </div> </div> <div>  </div> <div> <a name="7"></a> </div> <div> <style type="text/css"> </div> <div>  </div> <div> </style> </div> <div> <div id="page7-div" style="position:relative;width:918px;height:1188px;"> </div> <div> <img width="918" height="1188" src="SEP272019_02A6245007.png" alt="background image"/> </div> <div> </div> </div> <div>  </div> <div> <a name="8"></a> </div> <div> <style type="text/css"> </div> <div>  </div> <div> </style> </div> <div> <div id="page8-div" style="position:relative;width:918px;height:1188px;"> </div> <div> <img width="918" height="1188" src="SEP272019_02A6245008.png" alt="background image"/> </div> <div> </div> </div> <div>  </div> <div> <a name="9"></a> </div> <div> <style type="text/css"> </div> <div>  </div> <div> </style> </div> <div> <div id="page9-div" style="position:relative;width:918px;height:1188px;"> </div> <div> <img width="918" height="1188" src="SEP272019_02A6245009.png" alt="background image"/> </div> <div> </div> </div> </div> What triggers this behavior? I was hoping that it would try to convert the PDFs to a HTML file with text in tags but it just converts them into images and links them in the output html file. </div> <div> </div> <div> I am not allowed to share the PDF files since they are legal documents. </div> <div> </div> <div> Regards, </div> <div> Fred. </div> </div> </div> </div> </blockquote></div>
