Convert PDF to XML (XHTML)

[Anna]

Hi all.

Is it possible to convert a PDF file to XML format?
Using Cocoon, maybe?
I found how to do the opposite, i.e. to convert XML to PDF
(using XSL-FO and Cocoon), but not this.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Anna

Adobe have a "Save as XML" beta plugin for Acrobat 5.0 for windows.

Have a look at http://www.square1.nl/TGC-SITE/New-pdf2vector.htm

This converts PDF to SVG with a very high degree of accuracy. We've
been able to wrapper their SVG in XSL-FO and re-create the PDF again
which is pretty cool.
