I'm converting some PDF's to minimal html files. Using the default parameters (pdftohtml mydoc.pdf) I got a framed document with a table of contents in one frame and the document in the other.
When I specified -noframes -i (I didn't care about any pics that might appear in the files) it converted to html nicely, but every file had a hard-coded background color set to #A0A0A0. This seems like a strange design decision. Is there any way to turn it off, short of editing the code and recompiling?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Well, I answered my own question by downloading and compiling the linux code. The grey background, along with blue links, is hard-coded into the no-frames code with no switch to allow changing it to something else.
I was running the windows .EXE without any compiler handy, so I fixed my own problem by downloading a hex editor and hacking the bgcolor attribute on the BODY tags into a bunch of spaces instead.
I'd like to suggest that these hard-coded body tag attributes be removed so that the browser can handle the background color and link colors.
