Hobbyist and tinkerer, just surfing the Fediverse.

I ran it through pdf2htmlex. It extracted the text, tables, toc, etc. very nicely. Images are just black rectangles. I’ll keep playing with the options to see if I can get those extracted and usable as well. So far, this has been the most usable output I’ve gotten. Thanks again!

Yeah, Draw is too clunky for this. I’ve been looking at MasterPDF or qoppa’s PDF Studio. I’ll download Master PDF when I get home to see if the trial will allow for the functions I’m looking for. Thank you!

There are quite a few images and a lot of tables. It’s a mega dungeon and campaign setting. Fortunately all of the maps were in a separate document.

I’m leaning more towards this. Any suggestions on what to use to convert it to html? I’ve ended up going down the rabbit hole reading up on LaTeX now because of this lol

It’s worth a shot. I’ll try to play around with it and see what happens.

I’ve installed that on my desktop, but I haven’t really tried it out yet. I’ve also been reading up on Sigil as well. Considering converting it to an epub to read on my phone and e-reader while out and about.

I’m not running Word. I do have LibreOffice on my Linux machines, and use Google Docs on the Chromebook. Docs has struggled to open the pdf because of the size of it. I’ve even considered using Sigil to try and edit it into epub format.

BaconReader for a while, then Boost the past couple of years. Anxiously awaiting Boost for Lemmy, but trying out a lot of others in the meantime.
