Does anyone know if it is possible for Google's OCR to take a PDF of a mocked up web page and convert it to basic HTML with divs, spans, etc? Someone is telling me it can be done but I have not found anywhere that tells me how.

          I don't know, but by the very definition of OCR I would doubt that if it could do anything other than text based content and that graphics would not translate. I have all the newest Adobe products, let me see if there is some commands from within Acrobat that would work.

          The newest Acrobat can save a PDF as an HTML document. If you have a PDF you'd like me to try to convert for you send it as an attachment.
