It's a program called pdf2html. The sourceforge site is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdftohtml/. It is well worth looking at, but only if you're not afraid of the command line. Happy hunting!

The problem is getting something that has similar formatting and layout to your original. For instance, many academic writers do new editions of text books and their publishers want them to start from the published versions (typically they only want to change 1/3 or less of the pages so that they don't have to re-edit the whole book). The publisher might send the PDF proofs from the last edition -- but what's an author to do with those? Export just the text, you lose all the headings, italics, boldface (e.g. vocab words), etc. and have to recreate it all over again.

I wasn't sure if you were aware that the latest edition of Adobe Reader does actually allow you to save to .txt. I realise this isn't technically the same as a .doc, but then you can always cut and paste! I believe this is a relatively new feature to PDF because before I saw your post I had no idea it was even posible to do. Which is why I was generally quite excited when I read your title (sad I know) Hey, Great site.
