PDF to HTML

Turning PDF into HTML+CSS quickly is essential for creating web prototypes that react swiftly. The traditional method—manually going through PDFs and coding them by hand—was slow and inefficient, especially with stacks of documents to work through.While some existing solutions convert PDFs to HTML by simply embedding screenshots as base64 images in web pages, this approach only offers static images that can't be edited or interacted with, limiting functionality and user experience.

Codia, on the other hand, is transforming this process with advanced artificial intelligence to make it smoother and quicker. Codia's AI efficiently identifies and extracts elements from PDFs, converting them into interactive, editable design drafts with just a click. These drafts are easily adjustable to meet the specific needs of any project. Following these adjustments, Codia utilizes a specialized coding tool to quickly generate clean, high-quality HTML+CSS code from the drafts, all within less than a minute. The primary goal of Codia is to drastically reduce the time and effort developers spend on manual conversions, thereby enhancing productivity and making web development more adaptable.

PDF to HTML Process

In Codia's methodology, design acts as a crucial bridge between PDFs and code. This leads to an important question: which design platform should we use for developing our tool? Figma is at the forefront as the most popular collaborative design platform, known for its lively community ecosystem—a dynamic hub where designers share plugins, templates, and resources. Therefore, we'll use Figma as our example to showcase Codia's PDF to HTML+CSS solution, discussing its benefits and explaining how to use it effectively.

Part 1: Effortless PDF to Figma Design Conversion with Codia AI

Codia's PDF to Design tool accurately converts PDF documents into editable Figma drafts. Using advanced algorithms, it transforms visual and textual content into detailed Figma vectors, while efficiently handling common import challenges. The tool also breaks down complex PDFs into fully editable layers in Figma, allowing designers and developers to make significant updates directly, without returning to the original files. This streamlined process speeds up the design workflow and makes it an effective solution for turning PDFs into Figma designs.
