someone asked the same question about how to convert PDF's on another 
list. I'm posting the answer here even though it's probably too late.


you could convert the [pdf] document to another format by using an 
online conversion service like the one
found here:
http://document.online-convert.com/

This page will convert files into a variety of formats, so you could 
convert your pdf document into RTF or doc format. The document is then 
downloaded to
your computer. You don’t have to create an account and the conversion 
process is free. It doesn’t work with huge documents of over 500 pages 
or so, you
would need something like Stanza for that. If you wwant more info on 
Stanza, let me know.

Alternatively there are some pdf conversion tools available from webbie

http://www.webbie.org.uk/

There are 2 pdf readers available, cycle through the headings with the h 
key to get to the various programs. PDF reader 3 converts the pdf 
document into
a text document when you open it, and the old Webbie 3 suite of programs 
contains a pdf reader which shows the document in pdf format and you can 
just
press control N and control P to move to the next and previous page 
respectively. Note that it doesn’t have a search feature. For the old 
Webbie program
suite, you can choose what programs you want to install during the 
installation process, you don’t have to install everything.
