Question

On exporting an interactive form to HTML the text-boxes checkboxes are not exported.

I want to convert an editable PDF form to HTML and for this I downloaded and installed the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.

The PDF form is converted to HTML and it's format is intact but the HTML doesn't contain any input controls. The text-boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons and submit buttons are not present in the HTML, it just has the background image with borders for the input controls.

Is Acrobat Pro capable of exporting the editable PDF forms to HTML with proper input tags and buttons? What am I missing?

Any help is appreciated.

This is not possible with Adobe Acrobat.

Thanks Bernd for your quick response.

I've another question: Does Adobe Acrobat Pro has command line utility or API for converting PDF to HTML?

For the API look at the Acrobat SDK.


I checked the Acrobat DC SDK and unable to find any API for saving PDF to HTML.

Any pointer to the API method or which class to look into will be helpful.
