Really the typesetting and layout of document is more or less a one off piece of art from the typesetter. It is futile and a waste of time to bother trying to retain anything other than the data in the document.
And generally you can grab the text of the book without any corruption in my experience. I am happy to just extract the text and the images from a pdf and accept just text if I have to. Since thats what is important, well to me at least.
Anyways... good post, but damn PDF is a disgusting format technically and usability wise.
