# Converting PDF to HTML

PDF files preserve fixed layout, but web applications often need HTML content. Converting PDF to HTML helps you publish document content in browser-based systems.

Use this workflow when you need to:

- Publish PDF content on websites or intranets

- Index document content for web search

- Integrate document output into HTML-based pipelines

## Project setup

Install:

- The core Nutrient Native SDK package

- `GdPicture.Resources` for HTML conversion support

## Prepare the project

Register the SDK license before running conversion operations. For setup details, refer to the [getting started with.NET SDK](https://www.nutrient.io/sdk/dotnet/getting-started.md) guide.

```csharp

using GdPicture14;

LicenseManager licence = new LicenseManager();
licence.RegisterKEY("");

```

## Create the document converter

Instantiate `GdPictureDocumentConverter`:

```csharp

using GdPictureDocumentConverter converter = new GdPictureDocumentConverter();

```

## Load the PDF document

Load the source PDF file:

```csharp

converter.LoadFromFile(@"input.pdf");

```

For available converter methods, refer to the [API reference guide](https://www.nutrient.io/api/gdpicture/GdPicture.NET.14.API~GdPicture14.GdPictureDocumentConverter_methods.html).

## Configure HTML output

Save the document as HTML with page-layout output:

```csharp

converter.SaveAsHTML(@"output.html", HtmlLayoutType.PageLayout);

```

`HtmlLayoutType.PageLayout` keeps output close to the original page structure.

## Handle errors

`LoadFromFile` and `SaveAsHTML` return `GdPictureStatus` values. Use those values in your error handling flow. For status-handling patterns, refer to the [handling errors with.NET SDK](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/dotnet/best-practices.md#error-handling) guide.

## Conclusion

This guide converts a PDF document to HTML for web-based publishing and integration.
