Hi,

There is no PDFBox .net version. There is some unofficial stuff from old 
PDFBox versions.

There is no "formatting" in PDF like in HTML. Glyphs are put at 
specified places, sometimes 1 character at a time.
There are products that try to recreate paragraphs from this. Even 
PDFBox tries this, but it's not perfect, see PDFText2HTML.java .
To get the images, see the ExtractImages.java and 
PrintImageLocations.java . One would have to combine all this, and it 
would still not look very close to a PDF.
