If you have or set up a gmail account you can e-mail yourself your PDF files and your gmail box will let you view them as HTML, with all the italics, bolding and such more or less intact. From there, converting it for the Reader is trivial, HTML2LRF has already been mentioned, saving the thing as an HTML file and then converting to RTF with Word or Open Office is no challenge. And popping it into the also aforementioned BookDesigner is also a simple matter.

I expect there might be some reformatting needed with this method, but it should be a lot less than otherwise.

I had forgotten about it, since I don't use PDFs much myself.
Yes it works, but if the attachment is too large, you'll only get some of it and you'll still need to edit every page to remove the excess junk.
