pdf2blocks

This python script converts pdf file written in french into html file. 

The conversion consists in organizing the textual content of a pdf file into separate blocks. Each of these blocks will be transformed into an html  section: H1, H2, P, FigCaption, Footer, Header.

This program uses pdftohtml and pdftotext, two tools of the poppler bookstore (https://poppler.freedesktop.org/). Tables extraction is done with the camelot library (https://pypi.org/project/camelot-py/).

It's run from the command line:

python pdf2blocks.py /link/to/file.pdf

The result is written on standard output.

The algorithme is described in french into the README.md file of the archive.
