FWIW, I have a home-brewed perl script that converts latex documents to
org-mode files. Loosely based on latex2doc[1], it uses a latex style
file (generated by the perl script) to markup the pdf output (e.g.
asterisks for section headings, etc.). The org-formatted pdf is then
converted to plain text with pdftotext.
It's a crude and by no means comprehensive hack designed to meet my own
peculiar needs. But I'd be happy to share it on Worg (with ample
disclaimers) if anyone is interested.
Best,
Matt
