Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Get a free PDF to HTML converter Sunday only
There are plenty of free programs out there that let you convert files from one format to another. You can even convert video, audio, picture, and document files online. But for some reason, good PDF conversion software is hard to come by.Probably the easiest way to convert a PDF to an HTML file is to email the file to yourself using GMail. When you check your email, you'll have an option to view the attachment as an HTML file. But there's a good chance the formatting will be messed up.
That's why we were so excited to see that Giveaway of the Day is offering up a free version of PDF to HTML Converter Pro today. The software, which normally retails for about $50, allows you to load a PDF file and spit out an HTML document with the same file structure, including chapters and bookmarks.
One side benefit is that the resulting HTML files are much easier to read on a mobile device like a Windows Mobile PDA. While there are PDF viewers for Windows Mobile, they tend to be very slow at loading PDF files. But if you convert a file to an HTML document, it can easily be opened in Pocket Internet Explorer or another mobile web browser.
When you download the file from Giveaway of the Day, you'll get a notice explaining how to register the product. Keep in mind, this offer expires after Sunday.

Firefox users have been able to download the PDF Download plugin for quite some time that does this and much more: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636
"Allows to choose if you want to view a PDF file inside the browser (as PDF or HTML), if you want to view it outside Firefox with your default or custom PDF reader, or if you want to download it!"

www.cutepdf.com has a free (commercial and personal use) PDF printer, too. Works great, and is a generic windows printer, so it's not program specific.
My concern with GAOTD is that if you download and install it, that's great. However, you can't reinstall it later, as it won't activate on the different day... am I mistaken with my interpretation of the GAOTD system?
