This may or may not help. On Linux, there are some command-line tools such as: pdftotext pdftops pdftohtml pdfimages They do the job, with quality about what you'd expect from a tool that has to work backwards. pdftops (to postscript) tends to work the best, since postscript and pdf are related. pdftotext just gets the raw text with an attempt at formatting blocks of text that tends to miss the mark by a lot. But it gives good output for, e.g. indexing. I'm sure there are GUI tools built on top of these CLI tools, and I'm sure there are other solutions available on Windows, but I thought I'd mention these anyway. I've used them for years with good results.
