HI,
I'm not in list, so please CC to me.

As subject, I want to convert a pdf file to another format, which is
easy to modify and translate.
I'd prefer to use vi with po plugin to translate some file, so it's
best to convert pdf to po file.
Target file is like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
nico@debian:~$ pdfinfo ~/Desktop/latex-doc-pdf/GSWLaTeX.pdf
Creator: TeX
Producer: pdfeTeX-1.21a
CreationDate: Thu Sep 18 20:13:17 2008
Tagged: no
Pages: 46
Encrypted: no
Page size: 595.276 x 841.89 pts (A4)
File size: 330812 bytes
Optimized: no
PDF version: 1.4
------------------------------------------------------------------

Any suggestion will be appreciated!

Use inkscape.

The text in the pdf will be imported as text (most of the time0 and the
layout will be preserved. I use it all the time. You need the latest
inkscape for this to work (0.46)

Good luck.
