jswolf, the best software I'm aware of for converting a .pdf into an editable text file w/ formatting and quite good paragraph recognition is Marcel Weiher's TextLighting.app (although originally written for Mac OS X, I believe there's a version for Linux and w/ the state of GNUstep, it could probably be made available for Windows. Inexpensive shareware, ob. discl. I was a beta tester).
As regards complaints about .pdf tool implementations, well, the specification is freely downloadable, so anyone who wants to create a better tool for it certainly could.
