One of the simplest "conversions" for PDFs is to get a gmail account, and attach the PDF, and then open it as HTML.
This will get you an HTML file with the page breaks, and headers & footers as text, but it usually keeps paragraph breaks (depending on how the PDF was made) and can be converted to something else that doesn't have the weird line-break issues that PDFs do in the reader.
Nothing changes the fact that PDFs were designed as a final format, and any ability to convert them to other formats (or view on anything other than Acrobat or the Reader) is secondary, and not guaranteed to work.
