How can I convert PDF files to HTML with Python?  I was thinking something alone the lines of what Google does (or seems to do) to index PDF files.  My final goal is to setup Apache to show the HTML for the PDF files, so anything leading me in that direction would also be appreciated.

I receive a lot of PDF maps (vector, image, with georeference and without) and I am having to convert them to an image file before I can add them to ArcMap and georeference.    I can't see any obvious out-of-the-box utility that would allow me to add and georeference a PDF directly without having to convert to an image file first.   Any ideas?  I would prefer to add a PDF to map directly without any prior "pdf to image" conversion

Is there any tool that can convert Latex documents to HTML documents, so that all math is presented with ?  (Obviously, it is fairly easy to hack together a quick Perl script that is able to do a crude conversion, but I am interested in a bit more robust solutions — at least it should get all cross-references right automatically.)

I was wondering why there is no dedicated python community in Stack Exchange like Drupal, Android etc? Isn't the language (Python) popular enough?  I am a Python user since last year. Would like to know more about this language and different problems faced by other programmers.

I'm using Pluma (basically gedit) with a plugin I found to help with tex documents and it does this very well, I just started a new one and activated the preview (because I'll want it at some point) and I have found that an empty document is an error!  \documentclass{report}  \begin{document}  \end{document}   This gives an error about the PDF file not existing, why?  Is it some bug, what could possibly require there to be text for it to work? Adding even a single letter fixes this.  The engine used was "rubber" by the way.

How can I convert a Word document to PDF and preserve all hyperlinks?  I have Word 2011 and Acrobat XI available on OS X.  Save As -> PDF from Word doesn't preserve hyperlinks.  Acrobat's File -> Create -> PDF... from the .docx file also doesn't preserve hyperlinks.  When testing this, please use a link whose text is not identical to the URL it is pointing to.  Many PDF readers will recognize URLs and automatically make them clickable, even if the PDF doesn't actually contain hyperlinks.

Do you know a good way to compare PDF files side-by-side and show the modifications between the two?  I'm looking for Windows software to accomplish this. It would be great if you can post both free and not-free products.

I'm doing some web scraping and sites frequently use HTML entities to represent non ascii characters. Does Python have a utility that takes a string with HTML entities and returns a unicode type?  For example:  I get back:  &amp;#x01ce;   which represents an "ǎ" with a tone mark.  In binary, this is represented as the 16 bit 01ce.  I want to convert the html entity into the value  u'\u01ce'
