Hi Raymond,

Apologies for any confusion. We are converting PDF to JSON fine, but in generating JSON to HTML, we are facing some difficulties

I've attached the PDF which we are using to convert to JSON, as it is quite complex, with multiple images/ tables types.

Ah, so to be clear, you are using the PDF Extract API, right? There isn't necessarily a "path" you can take to generate HTML from that, and that's not really the intent of the API. The API is meant to give you information about what's in the document. I can't help you with this, sorry. It's not to say it's impossible, but PDF layout is not the same as HTML.
