Looking for way to display PDF contents with formatting


Recommended Posts

I am looking for a way in PHP (or open to other possibilities if any are available), to open up a PDF document and display it's contents to the screen and sometimes do some simple manipulation before displaying it. I have a simple working version now that uses the linux command pdf2html, but it's a very basic conversion. No tables, formatting, images, or colors. And I get a lot of random characters mixed in sometimes. I know there has to be some other way of doing this because Google has a way that it indexes PDF documents and is able to convert them into very pretty webpages. That's basically what I would like to find. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
