Automation Process
You need to install an executable based on xpdf to accomplish this task.

There are 2 ways or commands I will prefer.

You can also execute these commands from SSH or PHP script. We will focus at php script command execution.

Lets consider the installed files are present in /usr/bin.

• system('/usr/bin/pdftohtml /var/www/website/processed/example.pdf') // This will create a HTML file in the processed folder.


• 
  system('/usr/bin/pdftohtml /var/www/website/processed/example.pdf -') // This command will not create an HTML file but it will show the output of the file at screen.
  

Few Common Errors

1. BAD Color Error: This error usually appear if the package doesn't install properly.
2. Execution Error: It is also a common error that php doesn't execute the command and output file doesn't generate. To solve this error you need to confirm few things.
   • Confirm php is not running in the safe mode.
   • You must execute the command as root. So you also need to set the apache securities.
