PDF is often a dead-end for conversion: even if it looks fine, trying to convert it to something else is likely to give you a headache. This is so because the PDF format is almost only an "image" of the page, it has no knowledge of words, letters, lines, paragraphs... it's only a pretty drawing of the page, and converting this to text is not easy.

You could try with some OCR program like FineReader or OmniPage, which are designed for that exactly: reading the text out of an image.
