BCL WebContent (Import PDF as HTML) Manual Support

Overview

BCL WebContent allows you to import documents, convert them to HTML and extract the content for publishing on a website quickly and easily. The process allows you to import PDF documents created by easyPDF (or any other PDF authoring tool), and generate either basic free-flowing HTML or exactly positioned CSS layered HTML. Text, tables and graphics are always preserved in the conversion process. The content from each page is inserted into your current workspace by simply selecting a thumbnail and clicking insert!

With BCL WebContent, you can:

monitor the PDF assets you are working on from one place
view the content of the PDFs from within Dreamweaver without using Acrobat® Reader
easily copy and paste text and graphics from your PDF documents
easily insert whole PDF pages as HTML into your project

Terrible Download

Be Very careful about this - it looked like it might solve a problem for me, but the pdfs look very amateurish in the pages - this is only a trial version for 7 days - and it won't let you uninstall: rubbish :(

Hi Billus Millus,

I'm Sorry you had a bad experience with the software. However, your negative review is misleading & doesn’t help others make an informed decision on whether or not to try the product.

WebContent is designed to extract the text and graphics from PDF files for you to use in web pages. It was featured in the “Our Pics” category on Macromedia Exchange, it was included in Macromedia DRK5, and was written about in Dreamweaver MX 2004 Bible.

The uninstall process described above should work just fine, but if you are having problems uninstalling, you can contact support. WebContent does what it says it does, but I’m sorry if it did not solve your problem.

WebContent is the only product on the market that allows you to import PDF into Dreamweaver as HTML. If your PDF file was not converted accurately, the PDF file you tried to import was too old, too complex or created by a low quality PDF creation program. “Garbage in, garbage out.” I suggest that you try again with a better PDF file in order to give a fair review.

Thanks,
cw

the download does not work at all !!!
