If its an online document, you could do a Google for it, and tell Google to
convert it automatically to HTML.
Also if you have access to a UNIX or LINUX machine, you could use the
command:
ps2ascii [input.pdf] [output.txt]
(Where [input.pdf] and [output.txt] are the input and output filenames
respectively)
If you don't have access to a *NIX machine, let me know how large the file
is. If its small enough, I could have you email it to me, and I could try
doing it for you (I've never actually used this particular command before).
Thanks,
