Options include:

tidy

Default value: true

Specify true to run tidy on the document and false not to run tidy. If you run tidy, you can also specify any xdmp.tidy options.

config

The configuration file for the conversion. You can specify an absolute path or a relative path. The relative path is relative to the <install_dir>/Converters/cvtpdf directory. The default configuration file is named PDFtoHTML.cfg; it produces a single reflowed XHTML document with CSS styling. Setting this parameter may override the remaining options.

pageByPage

Default value: false

Specify true to select a different default configuration file that produces one XHTML document per page with absolute positioning. The default paged configuration file is named PDFtoXHTML_pages.cfg If a specific configuration file is selected with the config option, the pageByPage option has no effect.

pageStartId

Default value: 0

The index of the first page to convert. Page indices start at zero.

pageEndId

Default value: -1

The index of the last page to convert. Page indices start at zero. The default is -1, meaning to convert through the last page of the document.

synthBookmarks

Default value: true

Enable/disable converter's internal font-based TOC inferences.

imageOutput

Default value: true

Enable/disable extraction and conversion of images.

textOutput

Default value: true

Enable/disable extraction of text.

zones

Default value: false

Enable/disable zone controls. Using true produces better results when the PDF is annotated; using false produces better results in non-annotated tables.

ignoreText

Default value: true

Enable/disable extraction of text from images. Documents consisting of scanned pages can only have text extracted if this parameter is set to true; however, diagrams with embedded text labels may be less palatable. For page-by-page conversion, the problem with reflowing of text and graphical elements within a diagram giving poor results is not such a problem, and the value of false will probably be the better choice.

removeOverprint

Default value: false

Enable/disable removal of text overlays. Setting this parameter to true can sometimes clean up messy results stemming from reflowing of text that was not visible in the original PDF because it was covered by something else.

illustrations

Default value: true

Enable/disable extraction of illustrations. Setting this parameter to false can sometimes clean up messy results stemming from minor and unnecessary graphical ornaments.

imageQuality

Default value: 75

Determines the quality of extracted and converted images: smaller values mean smaller image sizes (in bytes) but lossier rendering. The maximum is 100.

pageStart

Default value: none

Boilerplate text inserted at the start of every page. Any XML markup must be escaped. For example: <p>PAGE START</p>

pageEnd

Default value: none

Boilerplate text inserted at the end of every page. XML markup must be escaped.

documentStart

Default value: none

Boilerplate text inserted at the start of every document. XML markup must be escaped.

documentEnd

Default value: none

Boilerplate text inserted at the end of every document. XML markup must be escaped.

password

Default value: none

The password required to open a password-protected PDF.

Sample Options Node:

The following is a sample options node which specifies that tidy is used to clean the generated html, specifies to use the tidy "clean" option, and specifies a particular configuration file to use for the conversion:

{
  'tidy': true,
  'clean': 'yes',
  'config': "c:\myConfigFile.cfg"
}
