pdf2lrf
Part of libprs500 v0.3.81. It extracts the text from PDF files and converts them to LRF. Preserves bold and italics. See attached demo.

It doesn't support embedded images and results are not going to be satisfactory for complex PDF files. But for converting simple novels, it works great.

Linux users: If you want support for PDF links then you need to install poppler from CVS.

To use:
Code:
pdf2lrf "mybook.pdf"
Enjoy.
