I've started looking at the Xpdf tools as well as pdftohtml. Other

the needs I sketched out above. The script itself is Perl, in case that
matters.
An alternative might be to render the PDF to a relatively low-res
bitmap. Then the HTML becomes just an IMG. You can do that
directly
with Ghostscript, or use ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick.
Which, if I correctly understand the description on freshmeat, is almost
exactly what pdf2html does.

I downloaded the latest version just now and tried building it. The
build failed with some syntax errors in pbm2png.c, so if anyone wants
to add this to ports, they'll have some cleanup work to do.
FWIW, the syntax errors are all due to some misplaced line breaks.
Re-joining all the lines that generate a warning about a missing
terminating " character fixes this.
(This was using gcc 4.2.1.)
