Hello, I'm in tricky project. I need to convert 2000 ~ 3000 pdf documents to html file. When I convert repeatedly in python or java code, I want to use Acrobat Reader's pdf to html converting code (Library or API etc..). I am willing to pay for it. I really hope to have good result.

    Acrobat Reader has no HTML converter at all. So there can be no API.

    If you're looking to do this on a server, Acrobat is technically unsuitable (it's an interactive tool) and also cannot be licensed. I don't think Adobe have any licenseable converter for server PDF to HTML use.

    Acrobat Reader has no converter to HTML. Acrobat does. Which of these two different products are you asking about?

    actually i used adobe acrobat pro dc to convert and it did great but i'm looking to use it in a mass production manner (after licensing off course). is there a way to use code in order to call some adobe service which will do this conversion?

    thanks

    The only way of doing such tasks en-masse in Acrobat is via the Action Wizard.
