pdf2ascii would not be a binary. It would be more like a shell script
to invoke Ghostscript with the appropriate command string. But it
does not seem to exist.
You could chain pdf2ps and ps2ascii. No guarantee of success.
I think Adobe has an on-line pdf2ascii converter. You send the file
to them, they send back the translation.
