Heya All,

I've created a small web application to convert PDFs to HTML to LRF.
It's not very powerfull yet - and it's still very buggy. But I would be glad if someone could give it a try and give me some feedback on it.

The webapplication itself is based on JavaServlets, the conversion from HTML to LRF is based on Fallstaff's pylrs-1.0.0

Greetings from Germany,

uwe.

You can create HTML within the system and convert that to LRF. Headings 1..3 are used for building a TOC in the LRF-file

I use PDFBox, a Java-Api for converting pdf to txt and some custom logic to guess when a heading should be set...
