A good PDF to HTML App?

Question

Hi all,

I'm looking for a good way to convert a multi page PDF to HTML pages. I want the conversion to look exactly like the original PDF's layout/format. Ideally, I would like to use a publishing program such as InDesign to create my PDF. Then convert or export it to HTML as it will be used for print and web. Though, all I can find for InDesign is XHTML exporting which doesn't keep the formating etc... Anybody know of a good PDF to HTML app? Or can InDesign do what I want? Or are there any other publishing programs that could do what I want? Maybe Quark? Or maybe there's another way that I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!

I doubt you will get any that can do an exact transform. The PDF format is really a large graphic. Even using Acrobat, prob you're best choice, to save to. Is going to require you to tweak the output.

Acrobat does let you export to 4 and CSS but I'm very dubious of the quality of the end product, esp with a very complicated page.

I have CS3 not the newest version of Acrobat so maybe is gotten better. I don't think so.

If you don't mind tweaking then give it a try.
