This is simply because HTML is not typesetting-capable. Depending
on the source of the PDF file, it may help to convert from THAT
format instead from PDF. E. g. if you have a .tex (LaTeX) file
that has been the source of the PDF file, you can use a converter
from LaTeX to HTML, often with acceptable results.

The HTML concept, especially when incorporating CSS for formatting,
_can_ be used to gain a bit typographic quality, e. g. by defining
parameters for "screen" and for "printed" media. Still it suffers
from things like maintaining good grey values, hypenation and
ligatures.
