Thank you. I notice the pdftohtml I have is version 0.20 while there is a verison 0.40 available on Sourceforge (I am running Windows 7). Is there a reason for this choice, or is there simply no build of 0.40 for Windows?

Also, do I understand that the Python XML -> HTML code migration is a job that needs doing for the community? In which case I will gladly take it on.

pdftohtml comes from the poppler project. The pdftohtml on soureforge is completely out of date.
