Big thanks Mochamad Gufron (mgufrone)! I did a packet based on its package (https://github.com/mgufrone/pdf-to-html).

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.

include 'vendor/autoload.php';

// initiate
$pdf = new \TvT\PdfToHtml\Pdf('test.pdf', [
    'pdftohtml_path' => '/usr/bin/pdftohtml',
    'pdfinfo_path' => '/usr/bin/pdfinfo'
]);

// example for windows
// $pdf = new \TvT\PdfToHtml\Pdf('test.pdf', [
//     'pdftohtml_path' => '/path/to/poppler/bin/pdftohtml.exe',
//     'pdfinfo_path' => '/path/to/poppler/bin/pdfinfo.exe'
// ]);

// get pdf info
$pdfInfo = $pdf->getInfo();

// get count pages
$countPages = $pdf->countPages();

// get content from one page
$contentFirstPage = $pdf->getHtml()->getPage(1);

// get content from all pages and loop for they
foreach ($pdf->getHtml()->getAllPages() as $page) {
    echo $page . '<br/>';
}
