I don't know what the best tool is, but I'm currently using pdftohtml in 
XML mode (and then stripping the XML) in my ExtractText plugin.

(For more info about the plugin, see my post with subject "ExtractText 
plugin", or download it from 
<http://whatever.frukt.org/graphdefang/ExtractText.zip>).

I've now mirrored the file as
<http://mmm.truls.org/m/ExtractText.zip>

I hope that will work better.
