(Tuto) How to run this library on OS/X ?

[kaleidoscopique]

Hi Mochamad,

Thanks a lot for this awesome library !

I was writing a big ticket where I asked "HELPP, can you help me to run your lib on OS/X please ?" but by writing my issue, I've found the solution ! Then I thought it will be a good idea to share the tips.

1. Install brew
Brew is a famous package manager on OS/X : http://brew.sh/ (aptitude style).

2. Install poppler

brew install poppler

3. Verify the path of pdfinfo and pdftohtml

$ which pdfinfo
/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo

$ which pdftohtml
/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo

4. Whatever the paths are, use Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set to set them in your php code. Obviously, use the same path as the one given by the which command;

<?php
// if you are using composer, just use this
include 'vendor/autoload.php';

// change pdftohtml bin location
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdftohtml.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdftohtml');

// change pdfinfo bin location
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdfinfo.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo');

// initiate
$pdf = new Gufy\PdfToHtml\Pdf('file.pdf');

// convert to html and return it as [Dom Object](https://github.com/paquettg/php-html-parser)
$html = $pdf->html();
?>

Everything will work like a charm ! :-)
