There's a Linux version of Acrobat Reader.

There is also an Acrobat Developers SDK.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/?tab:downloads=1
(Look for the link for the Linux tarball file.)

I downloaded and extracted bits of the tarball.
In the SDK, I think there is code for a SaveAsXML Acrobat Reader plug-in.
You could save to XML and possibly HTML.

I imagine that would be a cleaner way to to the conversions than using iText.

I hope that helps or at least satisfies someone's curiosity. :-)
