Is there any software available which can be compiled under Unix or Linux,
and which can convert PDF files into either aSCII text or HTML format. I
am aware of the conversion service at http://access.adobe.com/ but this
does not provide a solution when the PDF document can only be accessed on
a restricted basis (E.G. via a web site that requires client
authentication).

For those who need to read MS-Word 8.0 documents, a new conversion tool is
available at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/MSWordView.html
