Any plans to correct issue with fixedLayout set to false on pdf to html conversion

I have seen several unfixed issues about pdf to html conversion losing images and formatting when fixedLayout is set to false. We have experienced the same issue and are most concerned about keeping table formatting, but the formatting is mostly lost. If this will not be fixed, are there any suggested workarounds?
Sample of unfixed issues are PDFJAVA-38436, PDFNET-48519, PDFNEWNET-36434, PDFNEWNET-40501.

Thanks for contacting support.

We are afraid that the mentioned tickets have not been resolved yet and there is no workaround at the moment as investigation against them is not yet done. However, we have raised these tickets to the next level of priority and will let you know in this forum thread as soon as they are resolved. Please give us some time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Asad. This is a major defect that renders converted HTML when fixedLayout =false output unusable. Images are completely dropped and table rows are converted to individual tbody elements. We are coming up on our renewal and unless this gets fixed, we’ll need to find another option.

hey, are you able to generate different HTML tags like input with type text, p tag for pdf to HTML conversion?

@sahithya

Please note that we need to implement new conversion engine in order to convert PDF to HTML with respective HTML tags and elements and it is quite complex task that would take certain amount of time. We will inform in this forum thread as soon as we have some definite updates about it. Please give us some time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
