Short summary and practical options based on the replies from , and .

If a host-side download fails (SourceForge or similar) the most common causes are browser/extensions blocking the redirect, an interrupted HTTP redirect, or a corporate firewall. Try a different browser or an incognito/private window, temporarily disable download managers or script-blockers, right-click the file link and use "Save link as", or try the same download from a different network (home vs. work). If comfortable with command-line tools, use a downloader that follows redirects (for example, curl or wget on Windows/WSL). Check the project’s official releases page or issue tracker for updated binaries or mirrors before assuming the file is gone.

If the direct binary is unavailable or the converter on SourceForge is too old, consider these free alternatives and workflows:

  • pdf2htmlEX (open-source) preserves layout, fonts and hyperlinks much better than basic converters. Builds and releases are available from the project repository for modern platforms.
  • Calibre can export a PDF to HTML/HTMLZ; good for extracting text and images but not perfect for complex layout.
  • Upload to Google Drive and open with Google Docs, then Download as “Web page (zipped)”; this is quick for simple documents but will change formatting.
  • For sensitive files, avoid public online converters — they can leak data.

A short command-line example (if using a tool that provides a CLI) might look like:

pdf2htmlEX input.pdf output.html

Notes: different tools make different tradeoffs — accuracy of layout vs. fidelity of hyperlinks vs. ease of use. If preserving exact layout and active links is essential, use a modern HTML-conversion tool like pdf2htmlEX or a paid exporter (as noted). If downloads keep failing, try the troubleshooting steps first or grab sources/releases from the project repository rather than relying on a single mirror.

I am using a well. Although not free, but it works well. It supports hyperlinks from pdf to html.
