I've just managed this sort of thing, by using ABBYY Finereader 9.0, An OCR program, it reads the pdf as images rather than text, so some spelling is missed, but the more important thing was the layout was sorted and was much easier than doing it by hand.
As you said, had to be done very carefully.
