Adobe PDF conversion by advanced form
With access.adobe.com PDF to HTML conversion by form, all you have to do is type in the URL for an Adobe® Portable Document Format (PDF) document into an electronic form and select the "Get This Adobe PDF Document As HTML" button. The Adobe PDF document will be converted on-the-fly to HTML, and will be returned to you immediately in your browser application.

If you have never used the advanced form, see more information about the conversion options below.

URL:

By default, the entire document is converted.

Reflow paragraphs? 

Filter? 

  Required if document is protected

The simple form provides fewer conversion options for formatting the converted HTML document.

More information about the conversion options
Here is some more information to help you with the advanced features of the HTML to Adobe PDF conversion. Please note that the only form field that you must supply is the URL to the PDF document.

URL
URL (Uniform Resource Locator) or address of the Adobe PDF document that you wish to convert. This is the only required field.

First and last page
By default, the access.adobe.com PDF to HTML converter converts the entire document. Some Adobe PDF documents, however are very large, so this option allows you to limit the number of pages that you convert at a time.

Reading order
The short explanation is that if you don't like the way the document reads, try the alternate reading order.

Reflow paragraphs
By default, the access.adobe.com PDF to HTML converter doesn’t try to reflow the document text to fit neatly into your document window. The advantage of not reflowing is that the reading order of tables and lists are preserved. On the other hand, some documents may read better when the paragraphs are reflowed.

Filter
The Adobe PDF document may contain characters in the document's original font that do not map to a standard character set that screen reading programs can handle. If you find a particular document that contains many unprintable characters after being converted, you may want to try to filter the document during the conversion.

Password
Some Adobe Acrobat® documents are protected with a password. You must supply the password in order to convert these documents.
