pdfthtml can sometimes do a decent conversion with formatting kept so all you do is a cleanup/format to fix it to how you want it. And yes, pdflrf would work as well if pdftohtml doesn't cut it.

I read the comments and the author seems very inflexible. Doesn't seem like he'd be willing to try something different to get it to work. However, I do have to blame Adobe for their crappy code. If pdflrf can generate readable PDF, thent here is no reason Adobe cannot come up with code that works well.
