I think you mean pdftohtml. At least, on my Ubuntu system poppler-utils
has pdftotext and pdftohtml, without any actual digits in the name.

How well does this work in practice?
I'm unhappy with the results I get from pdftotext: it even loses
paragraph breaks. pdftohtml, which I never tried before, is a bit
better, but it considers every line to be a separate paragraph. I'm too
lazy to try GMail now, especially since I don't expect anything better
from it.
