Download Alpine Tar Archive

Download

The most recent releases have Alpine Tar Archives built on a recent Alpine releases.

These Alpine tar archives come as two parts:

1. The tar archive itself which contains a pdf2htmlEX executable compiled inside an Alpine docker image (and hence using musl).
2. A /bin/sh script which will install the pdf2htmlEX Alpine dependencies using the apk command, and then unpacks the associated tar archive into the /usr/local/bin directory.

This option should only be chosen by someone who is comfortable using shell scripts in an Alpine Linux environment.

However, it can be used to build your own customized Alpine based docker image.

NOTE: at the moment, the statically linked FontForge and Poppler libraries are using the standard Alpine version of iconv. Unfortunately, the Alpine version of iconv is unable to deal with some 'standard' fonts, and so you might find these fonts are not transferred into the resulting html. See Compile Alpine version of pdf2htmlEX using gnu-iconv for more details and discussion.
