This release updates pdf2htmlEX to work with poppler-0.68.0 (as installed from the Ubuntu 18.10 package).

Install with APT

1. Download the deb distribution file listed below
2. Ensure your apt package information is up to date using: sudo apt update
3. Install using: sudo apt install ./pdf2htmlex_0.17.0-1~git20190924r37921-0ubuntu1~cosmic1_amd64.deb

Install from source

Since pdf2htmlEX is no longer packaged by Debian (and hence by any of Debian's derivatives), you will need to compile pdf2htmlEX yourself.

You can do this by downloading a copy of this repository and in the resulting pdf2htmlEX directory, typing the command:

./dobuild

If this is successful then you can install it for system wide use by typing the command:

./doinstall

Note that you will require sudo privileges to do the system wide install.

To have a successful build you will require the following packages:

  - libpoppler-private-dev
  - pkg-config
  - cmake
  - make
  - gcc   (or clang)
  - g++
  - libcairo-dev
  - libspiro-dev
  - libpng-dev
  - libjpeg-dev
  - libpoppler-dev
  - libpango1.0-dev
  - libfontforge-dev
  - poppler-data
  - openjdk-8-jre-headless  (required for minimization of javascript)
