A program I wish to use distributes its manual as a PDF file.
Due to vision problems I wish to convert it to HTML for onscreen viewing.

pdf2htmlEX is an inappropriate tool as it is too focused on maintaining 
format of original. Its rigidity results in a fixed number of 
*characters* per line irregardless of chosen font size. As there is 
nothing formatted as a table, this restriction is inappropriate.

The only relevant links in the document are from the "Table of Contents" 
to the appropriate section. pdf2htmlEX *IGNORES* them!

A suggested tool?
TIA
