The best way I have found, is the "pdftotext" program, from the XPDF package. It has the advantage of different presentation styles: if the document does not look good while viewing in in the default format, you can try with the "-layout" or "-raw" option, to try a different style of display. Execution example: pdftotext -layout file.pdf - | fmt | less or just: pdftotext file.pdf - | fmt | less (Note: "fmt" wrapps the lines, which will otherwise break strangely) That is not the only way to run it, but it is the form I usually use.
