Since this package no longer builds, I made a new package, pdf2htmlex-appimage, which installs the appimage available at the upstream repository. This appimage was compiled on Ubuntu, but it seems to work fine.

AppImage

I have bad news. This no longer compiles, because poppler won't compile. Because it's an old version, and glib has changed. glib2, an unenumerated dependency, can no longer be relied upon, due to errors such as these:

You must compile glib itself, checkout v2.41.5, by pulling https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib.git, applying this:

The number of hacks becoming required to build this are in my opinion a bit ridiculous, so I packed mine as an AppImage. I never want to need to compile this again. If build isn't working for you and you're too busy to fix it, consider https://github.com/ctrlcctrlv/pdf2htmlEX.AppImage.

pdf2htmlEX-continuous.tar.gz fails on validity check.

pdf2htmlEX-git doesn't build.

docker image 'pdf2htmlex/pdf2htmlex' has no manifest.

Hm.

There is newer, maintained fork: https://github.com/pdf2htmlEX/pdf2htmlEX But it aimed at Ubuntu, so it will be probably slightly out of date (dependent packages are slower adopted in Ubuntu than in Arch).
