This PHP class can convert your pdf files to html using poppler-utils.

Thanks

Big thanks Mochamad Gufron (mgufrone)! I did a packet based on its package (https://github.com/mgufrone/pdf-to-html).

Important Notes

Please see how to use below.

Installation

When you are in your active directory apps, you can just run this command to add this package on your app

  composer require tonchik-tm/pdf-to-html:~1

Or add this package to your composer.json

{
  "tonchik-tm/pdf-to-html":"~1"
}

Requirements

1. Install Poppler-Utils

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install poppler-utils

Mac OS X

brew install poppler

Windows

For those who need this package in windows, there is a way. First download poppler-utils for windows here http://blog.alivate.com.au/poppler-windows/. And download the latest binary.

After download it, extract it.

2. We need to know where is utilities

Debian/Ubuntu

$ whereis pdftohtml
pdftohtml: /usr/bin/pdftohtml

$ whereis pdfinfo
pdfinfo: /usr/bin/pdfinfo

Mac OS X

$ which pdfinfo
/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo

$ which pdftohtml
/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo

Go in extracted directory. There will be a directory called bin. We will need this one.

3. PHP Configuration with shell access enabled

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

// initiate
$pdf = new \TonchikTm\PdfToHtml\Pdf('test.pdf', [
    'pdftohtml_path' => '/usr/bin/pdftohtml',
    'pdfinfo_path' => '/usr/bin/pdfinfo'
]);

// example for windows
// $pdf = new \TonchikTm\PdfToHtml\Pdf('test.pdf', [
//     'pdftohtml_path' => '/path/to/poppler/bin/pdftohtml.exe',
//     'pdfinfo_path' => '/path/to/poppler/bin/pdfinfo.exe'
// ]);

// get pdf info
$pdfInfo = $pdf->getInfo();

// get count pages
$countPages = $pdf->countPages();

// get content from one page
$contentFirstPage = $pdf->getHtml()->getPage(1);

// get content from all pages and loop for they
foreach ($pdf->getHtml()->getAllPages() as $page) {
    echo $page . '<br/>';
}
