The following from my .mailcap file application/pdf;pdftotext -raw %s - Not perfect but I'd see 10 pdf documents a day and get about 8 of them. I should download a new xpdf package too to see if it gets the last 20%. It's usually font encodings that seem to break things ... usually from LATeX files so I just hassle the author for the original. I think the breakthrough is overstated.
