Examples

The following set of examples demonstrates some of the most common uses of PDFtoHTML5Converter

Conversion with IDRViewer (BuildVu Only)

This example includes a fully-featured HTML5 document viewer the converted PDF file is displayed within. This mode is recommended for users who would like a configurable viewer solution with minimal setup.

 
     HTMLConversionOptions conversionOptions = new HTMLConversionOptions();//Set conversion options here
     conversionOptions.setDisableComments(true);

     IDRViewerOptions viewerOptions = new IDRViewerOptions();//Set viewer options here

     File pdfFile = new File("C:/MyDocument.pdf");
     File outputDir = new File("C:/MyOutputDirectory/");

     //Alternative constructor exists for converting from byte array
     PDFtoHTML5Converter converter = new PDFtoHTML5Converter(pdfFile, outputDir, conversionOptions, viewerOptions);

     try {
         converter.convert();
     } catch (PdfException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }

Conversion With No Viewer (BuildVu Only)

This example converts PDF files in a simple way that allows the output to be built upon, for example for to build a custom viewer solution around the content or to use within a CMS/ERP system. Also included in the output is a properties.json file that includes information that could help build your viewing solution such as the page count, page bounds, title/author (if set), as well as any bookmarks the PDF file contains. 

 
     HTMLConversionOptions conversionOptions = new HTMLConversionOptions();//Set conversion options here
     conversionOptions.setDisableComments(true);

     ContentOptions contentOptions = new ContentOptions();//Set content options here

     File pdfFile = new File("C:/MyDocument.pdf");
     File outputDir = new File("C:/MyOutputDirectory/");

     //Alternative constructor exists for converting from byte array
     PDFtoHTML5Converter converter = new PDFtoHTML5Converter(pdfFile, outputDir, conversionOptions, contentOptions);

     try {
         converter.convert();
     } catch (PdfException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }
