For those who need this package in windows, there is a way. First download poppler-utils for windows here http://blog.alivate.com.au/poppler-windows/. And download the latest binary.
After download it, extract it. There will be a directory called bin. We will need this one. Then change your code like this
<?php
// if you are using composer, just use this
include 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config;
// change pdftohtml bin location
Config::set('pdftohtml.bin', 'C:/poppler-0.37/bin/pdftohtml.exe');
// change pdfinfo bin location
Config::set('pdfinfo.bin', 'C:/poppler-0.37/bin/pdfinfo.exe');
// initiate
$pdf = new Gufy\PdfToHtml\Pdf('file.pdf');
// convert to html and return it as [Dom Object](https://github.com/paquettg/php-html-parser)
$html = $pdf->html();
// check if your pdf has more than one pages
$total_pages = $pdf->getPages();
// Your pdf happen to have more than one pages and you want to go another page? Got it. use this command to change the current page to page 3
$html->goToPage(3);
// and then you can do as you please with that dom, you can find any element you want
$paragraphs = $html->find('body > p');
?>Thanks to @kaleidoscopique for giving a try and make it run on OS/X for this package
1. Install brew
Brew is a famous package manager on OS/X : http://brew.sh/ (aptitude style).
2. Install poppler
brew install poppler3. Verify the path of pdfinfo and pdftohtml
$ which pdfinfo
/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo
$ which pdftohtml
/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo4. Whatever the paths are, use Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set to set them in your php code. Obviously, use the same path as the one given by the which command;
<?php
// if you are using composer, just use this
include 'vendor/autoload.php';
// change pdftohtml bin location
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdftohtml.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdftohtml');
// change pdfinfo bin location
\Gufy\PdfToHtml\Config::set('pdfinfo.bin', '/usr/local/bin/pdfinfo');
// initiate
$pdf = new Gufy\PdfToHtml\Pdf('file.pdf');
// convert to html and return it as [Dom Object](https://github.com/paquettg/php-html-parser)
$html = $pdf->html();
