What is a PDF file?

PDF was created by Adobe in 1993 and has been an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008. A PDF page stores the exact position of every piece of text, image and line, together with the fonts it needs, so the page looks the same in every viewer and on every printer.

Strengths

  • Looks identical everywhere, on screen and in print
  • Fonts are embedded, so no substitution surprises
  • Supports encryption, digital signatures, forms and bookmarks
  • Opens in every browser and operating system without extra software

Limitations

  • Hard to edit: the structure describes positions, not paragraphs
  • Scanned PDFs contain pictures of text, not text, until OCR is run
  • File size can balloon when images are embedded at full resolution

Typical uses: Contracts, invoices and official forms; Final versions of reports, theses and CVs; Scanned documents and archives; Print-ready brochures and books.

What is a HTML file?

HTML is the language of web pages: text marked up with tags for headings, paragraphs, links, tables and images, styled with CSS and laid out by the browser at display time. An HTML file has no fixed page size and reflows to fit the window.

Strengths

  • Reflows to any screen size
  • Text is fully searchable, selectable and accessible
  • Opens in any browser; easy to edit

Limitations

  • Looks different in different browsers and window sizes
  • Images and styles are often separate files that must travel with it
  • Not suitable as a fixed, signed or printable document

Typical uses: Web pages and email templates; Documentation and help content; Intermediate format for text extraction.

What changes when you convert PDF to HTML

Text and basic structure (paragraphs, headings, tables where detectable) are converted into tagged markup. Exact positions and fonts are not preserved; the output reflows. Scanned PDFs need OCR first.
