pdf2htmlEX was developed primarily for Linux systems. It relies heavily on specific versions of the Poppler library (for PDF rendering) and FontForge (for font extraction). The Linux ecosystem handles these dependencies through package managers (apt, yum). Conversely, Windows lacks a centralized package management system suitable for complex library dependencies, creating a barrier to native execution.

To install pdf2htmlex on Windows, follow these steps:
