In theory it is not possible (PDF tag system, scanned files, blah blah). In practice, who knows. Two ghostscript based tools, pstotext and ps2ascii are known to be able to extract some content. This content can be tagged with html and reinserted into minimo/browser. Actually it is something a non-coder can try: get these utilities (debian somewhere, and randomly for other OS) and try in your favorite pdf/postscript files.

EDITED: There is also prescript, which has already a html tag markup implemented.

EDITED: see http://www.nzdl.org/html/prescript.html and tell us! Perhaps in a general thread.
