How to convert PDF to HTML using pdf2htmlEX and Python?

Answer 1

Just use the subprocess module

import subprocess
subprocess.call("pdf2htmlEX /path/to/foobar.pdf", shell=True)

It calls the executable pdf2htmlEX . It must be somwhere in your $PATH , or you can put the absolute path in the call

Answer 2

If you want to give path of file separately instead of giving it in.call function you can do this:

  import subprocess
 >> path = "/home/temp/abc.pdf"
 >> subprocess.call(["pdf2htmlEX" ,path], shell=False)
