PDF to HTML
hi guys,
This may not be the best place to ask this. But since i am using Laravel, i hope someone have done this before and wouldn't mind sharing some guidance.
I am trying to upload PDF files and convert them into html format and in the process store them in the database. Does anyone know of a library i can use for this?
Really do appreciate the help here.
Cheers

@SCC I think the OP is looking for PDF to HTML, barryvdh's package does it the other way round HTML to PDF.
A quick Google search yielded this: https://github.com/mgufrone/pdf-to-html
Hope it helps!

Hi Guys,
I finally managed to get it to work. I installed poppler utils on my local instead of my homestead. Rookie mistake. Anyway does anyone know how i can access the #content?

Hi Ralee,
Let us call the object you are outputting in that screenshot $html_output.
You should be able to call $html_output->contents to get the array. If you want the actual HTML you should be able to use the following in this case:
$html_output->contents[1] as the HTML body looks to be located at index 1.
