Adobe Reader 6.0 (free) has a "Save as Text..." item on their File menu. Is
there some reason why that won't work for you?

The best one I have found so far is in the xPDF package at
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/about.html. But you will still have a
fair amount of editing to do.

But can you save the whole document to text? Or just one page at a
time?

Also, I have Acrobat Reader 4.0. When you use the Copy text tool and
paste it into a text editor, it does some OCR for you and gets about
80% of the words right. But for a 500 page document that's still a
lot of editing to do.
