Have you tried to use the Adobe accessibility web/email-interface for
converting PDF to HTML as a method of text extraction?

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html

Have you found other libraries or methods for PDF->text conversion to
be better than the Adobe web interface?

Gavin.

P.S. I wish that the Adobe web interface allowed you to file-upload a
document into the converter rather than having to provide a
web-addressable PDF or resort to email submission of a PDF. I should
inquire about why file-upload isn't an option that Adobe provides.
