You can type in the url for a pdf file here (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_simple_form.html) and it will convert it in your browser to html, or look on google here (http://www.google.com/search?q=convert+pdf+to+html&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) for programs that will do it also. Some are free!!:)

Here ia a Web-based converter...

A commercial soution...

******WARNING!!!!!******
========================

Carefully read the agreements before using any of the products. This is from one of the items found on the Google search...

All three products are available as FREE downloads. The free versions display a sponsor page in your web browser each time you run the software. If you would prefer not to see sponsor pages, you may upgrade by obtaining individual keys for each product at any time for $9.95 each

In other words the above product will foist some crapware browser hijack on you. I thike to think of this kind of product as "sopranoware"...pay us and we'll leave you alone, otherwise fuggedaboudit

If you have word and acrobat reader then you can open it with the reader, hit the T (text button), RClick and Select All and then Copy

.. then open a new Word Document and Paste

.. then "Save As" HTML.

This doesn't get any pics but seems to preserve the text formatting.

If you dont have acrobat reader, RClick on the pdf and "Open With" and choose Internet Explorer. Then carry on as above.
