NAME
       pdftohtml - program to convert PDF files into HTML, XML and PNG images

SYNOPSIS
       pdftohtml [options] <PDF-file> [<HTML-file> <XML-file>]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page documents briefly the pdftohtml command.  This manual
       page was written for the  Debian  GNU/Linux  distribution  because  the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       pdftohtml is a program that converts PDF documents into HTML. It gener-
       ates its output in the current working directory.  If PDF-file is  '-',
       it reads the PDF file from stdin.
