Guys,
I have tried most of this tools available online. Thing is they convert the whole pdf into one large html file.
The process requires me to convert one Module[the pdf file] into separate html files [usually 7 or 8] from different sections of the module[pdf file] and maintain the formatting on the pdf e.g paragraphs, ordered lists, unordered lists, images, bod text etc.
So the online solutions [at least the ones I've come across] do not help

Please have a look at the attached pdf.

Thanks

See http://itextpdf.com/ which can be used from the command line and
also has an API.
But pdf to html is not always a good idea since PDF is primarily meant
for print media.
How were the original PDF files created ? if you find the original
source files from which the
PDFs were created -- you may find it easier to convert the source files to HTML.
