How do I save a pdf as html?

Question

I just downloaded acrobat reader DC. The ability to fill out fields is a bonus that I didn't know about, so its worth it just for that, but my original reason for downloading it was to see if I could save a very complex PDF as html. Microsoft Word lets you open pdfs, and then save them as html, but it does an imperfect job.

Anyway, I saw that I can pay for an export feature (to word), but I did not see any feature, paid or otherwise, that allows saving as a web page. In addition, another person here saves a newsletter that she created in Word as a PDF file, and then puts it online. I would like to be able to put bookmarks in that PDF, so people can link to specific articles in it from the web.

Any help on any of these items is appreciated.

Thanks

AFAIK, you would need full scale Acrobat Pro. Reader is pretty much just that -- a PDF reader.

For what it's worth, PDF to HTML conversion seldom works as expected owing to the differences between web documents and print media.

If you save each article as a separate PDF file, you should have no problem linking to the target articles in your HTML code.

EXAMPLE:

<a href="article1.pdf">Link to article 1</a>

<a href="article2.pdf">Link to article 2</a>

and so on...

This is the non-technical, non-product supported Lounge. If you don't mind, I will move this question to the Acrobat Reader forum which is what I think you intended to do.
