Is there a proper library which I can use to convert PDF to HTML or some other format that can be converted to HTML easily?
I searched similar questions, but to no luck.
I want to be able to extract text from PDF's, possibly images. I'm not looking to embed the PDF inside the HTML.

On a Windows computer, open an HTML web page in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Firefox. On a Mac, open an HTML web page in Firefox. Click the “Convert to PDF” button in the Adobe PDF toolbar to start the PDF conversion. Enter a file name and save your new PDF file in a desired location.
Using an iframe tag is the second way to embed a pdf file in an HTML web page. In web development, web developers use the iframe tag to embed files in various formats and even other websites within a web page. Due to its wide compatibility, the iframe tag is widely used for embedding pdf.
Steps to convert a PDF to Chrome HTML. Use your file explorer to navigate to the desired PDF document. Right-click on the file and choose Open With and then Google Chrome. Your PDF document will open in a new Chrome browser window.
If you're on Linux, try pdftohtml:
sudo apt-get install poppler-utils pdftohtml -enc UTF-8 -noframes infile.pdf outfile.html On MacOS (with homebrew) pdftohtml can be installed with:
brew install pdftohtml The open source ebook converter Calibre can also convert PDF files to HTML and is available on MacOS, Windows and Linux.

Like I mentioned in the comment above, it is definitely possible to convert pdf to html using the tool Able2Extract7 which can be downloaded from here
I have been using this tool for almost 2 years now and I am pretty happy with it. This tool lets you convert PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, HTML, OO etc. See screenshot
Imp Note: This tool is not a freeware.
