Usage

Conversion PDF on the web to html with paper2html server

Upload a PDF file to the server by using this bookmarklet.

javascript:var esc=encodeURIComponent;var d=document;var subw=window.open('http://localhost:6003/paper2html/convert?url='+esc(location.href)).document;

Click on the bookmarklet when you open a PDF paper in your browser.
Then the conversion will start and the generated html will be opened after a while.

You can see the list of converted documents in the index page localhost:6003/paper2html/index.html

NOTE👉 If you are running a paper2html server on Docker, you will not be able to convert PDF file on the host OS with the bookmarklet. See docker image doc.

Conversion local PDF to html with CLI

Run this command, then open the html file in your browser.

$ python paper2html/commands.py "path-to-paper-file.pdf"

In IPython, do it like this.

>>> import paper2html
>>> paper2html.open_paper_htmls("path-to-paper-file.pdf")

You can use specific browser.

$ python paper2html/commands.py "path-to-paper-file.pdf" --browser_path="/path/to/browser"

You can also only convert without opening a browser.

>>> import paper2html
>>> paper2html.paper2html("path-to-paper-file or directory")
