    I’m still mad there’s no straightforward way to convert a PDF into semantic HTML. There’s plenty of tools to convert it into HTML that looks the same with pages and such, but I just want the content.

      Would it work to convert it to a simpler intermediate format like rtf or txt, and then convert into html? Why html anyway, Isn’t epub more appropriate?

        I just hate two column paginated lay outs. Give me pageless single column text.

          Yeah I get that. I’ve just gotten used to leaving pdfs the way they are, and choosing to read them on more appropriate devices like laptops or tablets.
