I try to conver a large pdf with some images in it to html with:
 pdftohtml -p -c -dev jpeg file.pdf

I make some probes with others options like -dev png16m... but in all cases
the result was the same, all images result rotates in 90º clockwise.

Later I check for the pdftohtml version (pdftohtml -v) and I realize that it
was 0.36, but I found that in the sourceforge project page
(http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/pdftohtml/) there are some other newer
versions. 

I was unable to compile the last "stable" release (0.39) but the
"experimental" one (0.40) compiles without problems in Lenny. 

With this version all my images are OK. So for me the "patch" is to throw away
the poppler pdftohtml app and make a package with the pdftohtml from
soruceforge. I install the xpdf-utils package (this one don't have any
pdftohtml app but the other pdf related apps yes) and make a "checkinstall
package" with this new version. Works OK.

Excuse my bad english. Greetings. Martintxo.
