HTML File format

Print2Email include an HTML printer driver to convert any printable document into an editable, ready-to-publish HTML file with text, pictures and graphics.

The HTML Printer Driver creates an editable HTML output from a source document. Each page of the source document is transformed into an HTML web page.

Text handling features:

  • Texts are extracted into editable HTML paragraphs exactly positioned and formatted according to the source document.
  • Supports strikethrough, underline, italic, bold weighted text declarations.
  • Font information is preserved and displayed according to the source document with the following limitation: embedded fonts of PDF documents are not displayed properly unless the end user has the same font installed on the system.

Image handling features:

  • Images are extracted from the document into separate image files.
  • Image files are placed into a separate folder.
  • Limitations: clipped, rotated and sheered images are displayed without any transformation, for example, without rotation.

Vector graphics handling features:

  • Vector graphics are displayed as rasterized images.
  • Vector graphics can be disabled.

CSS handling features:

  • Internal CSS support (the style can be embedded in the HTML document header).
  • Style declarations can be written into an external CSS file, one CSS file per page or combine all CSS declarations into a single file.
  • The Style sheet file with .css extension is generated in the same directory as the HTM output file.

For Example:

“New Tab.HTML” - HTML file.

“New Tab.CSS” - Style sheet file.

“New Tab_items” - Directory containing the images used on the HTML page.

Page dimension handling features:

Custom html page dimensions can be specified in several measurement units:

  • pixel (e.g. 800x600px)
  • 0.01 inch
  • 0.1 mm
