Convert several pdfs to html using Acrobat
I'd like to use Acrobat DC's "export to pdf"
option on a bunch of pdf documents. I tried using tools--> Action Wizard --> New Action
. This allows me to apply that action to a whole folder, but for every single file prompts me how to name and where to save it, meaning one needs to stay in front of the computer all the time or it won't progress.
"export to pdf"
tools--> Action Wizard --> New Action
Is there another way to automatically perform such a repetetive task, specifying the folder for the output files only once and then letting it run automatically?
(Context for the interested readers: Ultimately, I want to convert the pdfs to txt. However, some pages contain tables, which contents I do not want in the final txt files. So the idea is to use Python and parse the html to delete all tables.
From my tests, I've also found that Acrobat seems to better recognize tables and create appropriate tags than Python modules such as pdf2htmlEX and pdfminer. So if anyone knows an alternative way to achieve this, I'm also happy)
Thank you very much!
Edit: Found a solution that kinda works: So far I had only tried the Export PDF
action, which, as described above, did not work automatically but gave a prompt for each individual document. Using the Save
option in the action wizard instead seems to work better. This option allows to specify some additional settings, including a different file format to exporrt to, and then applies the operation to all files autimatically without stopping after each single document.
