: Most reliable automatic mockup-to-HTML tool? I like to design using Omnigraffle, which can save files in PDF and several other standardized vector formats. I realize that "mockup to HTML" paid

@Harper654

There is a spectrum from the easiest to "best", and any point on it is a trade off between the two. A single, full-page image with image-map links is the easiest, but not the best choice. Table-based design is easy, but again, very inflexible and inefficient to modify. A site with content and design completely separated is the ideal, possible with some kind of content management, but it might be more than you need.

A human.

In fact, that's the only reliable way.

Provided by 'reliable' we're talking some semblance of production ready/quality markup/css and JS.

"Cleanly" and "reliable" are the complicating factors here. There is thought that goes into building HTML and CSS that is not only reliable and easy to read but also easy to modify. Working with a reasonably good developer is the only clean and reliable path, in my experience.

Assuming you're trying to go it alone, you should reevaluate your workflow. Designing in Omnigraffle is your first step in the wrong direction. Have you considered something dedicated to the purpose like Dreamweaver or Fireworks? Their automated code output isn't what I would call clean by any stretch of the imagination, but it's going to give you a much better result than what you're looking for.

Acrobat: File > Save As > Other Options > HTML WebPage.. then manually clean up.

I don't believe any automated method gives clean HTML. They all require some massaging no matter how good they claim to be. And any conversion also depends greatly upon construction of the PDF or original layout format.
