Try kword.
thank you Charles, Cosme and David for your helpful replay.
kword claims to work. I yum install the koffice-filters, koffice-kword
and its core. But it took about 5 min to process a two page pdf with out
image on it. The worst is that it converted every letter into a image
file and what I can see is a bunch of squire boxes.
I use the ps2ascii to make it to work. It is not pretty but it works.
I havn't tried Scribus yet.
I found 2 alternatives:
AdobeReader has an option to save a (pdf-) file to text. The lay-out of
the .txt file is somewhat disapointing. (Tabs, tables, alignment in the
.txt file differs a lot from the .pdf file).
However it might be worthwhile to try. AdobeReader is available as rpm
from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Another tool able to extract textfiles from .pdf files is xpdf
(http://freshmeat.net/projects/xpdf/).
