Well, you can try
PDFRead (disclaimer: I wrote it) to convert PDFs -- it doesn't really convert it to text/html, it creates images out of each page so all formatting is preserved. There's another tool which does the same functionality called RasterFarian (search the forums and you'll find it).
Also, I've tried a lot of tools (both free/paid) and in the end the effort is just not worth it. Even taking a well formatted document, it takes at least an hour to get it in a readable form. A lot of the PDFs are not generated well, so sometimes the conversion is bizarre. The PDF => Image route is much simpler and requires no manual intervention (at the expense of taking more space and a much longer conversion time).
