Another difficulty I do not see listed among the replies here is the issue of embedded fonts. PDF documents allow for embedding of fonts, and HTML does not. If usage of non-standard (non-web) fonts is embedded in the source PDF, then extraction of the font becomes a significant challenge. Some tools are available to do just that. CAM::PDF can Extract Font Info from PDF, but when brian_d_foy asked about extracting the fonts themselves Chris Dolan intends to never add that feature.

If you happen to have the font, that may be easier. It really depends on your source PDF document.

CSS can be used to specify such fonts (see FontSpring "Bulletproof" Method, Smiley Variation among many).

There are also licensing issues in play for many fonts. Depending on your circumstances (and perhaps the font requirements) this may be of concern/interest to you.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
