Rather than embedding a PDF on a web page to view the PDF itself, is there a way to read the PDF file and display it's contents as HTML? (Let's assume the PDF is never composed of images, only text).

    Extracting text from a PDF is kind of complicated. Often, it is not divided into words and lines but rather distances between letters. If you have a multi column page, this gets rather difficult. – Hasse Björk Oct 27 '15 at 08:21
