A simple way? I don't count buying a real copy of Adobe Acrobat simple. There is free software
to recover text from .pdf files (if they are not scanned
in). I've used it, but it removes most of the formatting
too. Here's a web-based program:

If there's a better way, I'd like to know too.

For larger jobs, or where graphics and tables make selection difficult, you can always use Adobe's conversion service:

Send the PDF as an MIME e-mail attachment to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It will return, converted, as either a text file or html file. Very quick, very easy, but fairly ruthless in stripping out fancy formatting.
