Hello NoOp

Just one question remaining.
Try pdftohtml (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdftohtml/) then
edit the html.
I managed to find and download it. However, it's not yet clear to me
how to install it. I did not find this in one of the repositories, so
I needed to download it directly.

My apologies... it was in fiesty and then incorporated into
poppler-utils for Gutsy. You can install via:

sudo apt-get install poppler-utils
and then:
man pdftohtml - or just pdftohtml without argument and it will show you
the options.

Not that there are quite a few handy tools in poppler-utils:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/poppler-utils
====
This package contains pdftops (PDF to PostScript converter), pdfinfo
(PDF document information extractor), pdfimages (PDF image extractor),
pdftotext (PDF to text converter), and pdffonts (PDF font analyzer).
