Ok basically i am looking for a program which will accurately convert a pdf document to an html document.

Now i have found several, but they seem to share an extremely annoying characteristic, namely that they take boxes and tables, and make them like stupid background images or things like that, instead of making them *gasp* tables. Other than that they work really well, but that's kinda a major drawback and annoyance for me.

So any suggestions would be most welcome.

The problem is, that in pdf files, tables and lines are images.

You'll just have to fix it yourself if you need to.

Well that does somewhat crimp one's ability or conveninence of long pdf things [like manuals or other freely available ebook things], if one has to go through and manually make tables for 100+pp of material..
