Add to this a pdf to html converter, with a focus on official forms (e.g. irs tax forms), ability to easily edit fields and add signatures (similar to how the free android adobe app does it), and you can charge money for it.
- abhinav22 6y agoThanks - indeed there is likely a market for it. One of the issues is that to get a commercial app, you have to solve for most of the edge cases and make sure it has a good enough UI for the non sophisticated. I was thinking about doing it, but it would be a lot of work to do right. By right, I would want it to be the quality of sublime or emacs / vim :) :)
- frongpik 6y agoYou'd essentially have a pdf editor that can import a pdf, edit it and export the html back to pdf. Working with official forms is one usecase. Another is an iframe that can preview pdfs without resorting to plugins.
- abhinav22 6y agoIndeed - that makes a lot of sense
- frongpik 6y agoActually, there's one more usecase for a html to pdf converter: making a book-style copy of a multipage website. I'm looking right now at a scientific site with content spread over multiple pages and it's tiring to find and click all the links to make sure I don't miss anything.
