    What actually changes

    PDF and HTML are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    Text, headings and images are extracted and written as HTML with CSS positioning. The result renders in a browser without a PDF viewer and can be indexed by search engines.

    Worth knowing first

    There are two ways to do this and they fail differently. Absolutely positioned HTML looks identical to the PDF and is unreadable on a phone; reflowed HTML is responsive but loses the layout. Neither gives you a hand-authored page, and both need editing before publication.

    Questions

    PDF to HTML, answered

    Will the HTML be responsive?

    Not out of the box. A PDF has a fixed page geometry, and preserving it is the opposite of responsive design.

    What happens to the fonts?

    Embedded fonts can be extracted as web fonts, but licensing rarely permits redistributing them that way. Substituting a web-safe stack is usually the right call.
