Technically impressive, but what systems can render HTML and JS but not PDF?


There are also various use-cases for doing this as part of a larger product. Say you need to take a customer's crappy PDFs & reformat them for display within a web app, on a public display or to send as an HTML email. You could use this tool, convert to HTML, then drop in your own CSS stylesheet to reformat it. If your customer had many of said crappy PDFs you could no-doubt automate the whole process.

Needless to say I had to do something pretty similar recently, though I ended up having to ask the customer to provide better source data than the PDFs they initially sent. This tool could have been very useful at the time, hope to give it a spin soon.


Firefox and IE on Windows.
