Pdf to Html Library

[franciscog]

Hi!

I'm new to the forum, and I tought that maybe someone had a solution to my problem.
Basically, I'm trying to display a .pdf file using a UIWebView. I've accomplished that, but now I'm trying to create a "search" bar, in order to search text in that particular file.
After many googling, search for libraries, etc, I've come to realized that there isn't a simple way to do that. Someone told me that maybe I should convert that pdf file to an HTML document, so that I can browse it more easily.
Again, I went to google, and search for libraries in C, C++ and objective C. But didn't fin any good or free one.
So, my question is: Is there a way to convert a pdf file to an html? Does anyone needed to do this before me?

Anyway, thanks for the help guys. Love the forum

Cheers!

1. Convert PDF file to text file using Acrobat Reader or any program similiar. Just save it as a text file, no need for pro or extended versions of reader.
2. Open TextEdit.app, open up the text file you've created, copy/paste whole thing to a new document window.
- Open Preferences in TextEdit
- Go to the "Open/Save" Tab
- Change Document Type to HTML Strict or XHTML strict depending on your needs. In Styling, select No CSS.
- Go back and save the new document now as a html file.
There is a step by step instruction on how to convert PDF to HTML.
Hope that helps !
