I tried converting a relatively simple PDF document into HTML and the results were average. There were overlapping fonts, missing images etc.
Working with PDFs is an extremely frustrating experience. For years I've dealt with the poorly documented Adobe SDK and many third party tools through working in the ebook industry. In my opinion converting PDF to HTML is close to an impossible task that will never yield consistent results and will always require manual intervention.
However, a few years ago we've developed an online reader that renders PDF files that have been converted to images with a text overlay that is far more reliable than a conversion to HTML. You can see an example book for free here: http://amigoreader.com/moonstone/. We hope to open this up for users to share and discuss their PDF documents in the near future.
