What you could try to do is print out the pdf file, then locate a
scanner with a suitable scanning software. Several scanning software
have the possibility of generating word processing program output or
ASCII format. Since the pdf file is text only (no figures etc) then it
should be OK. You just have to go through the output generated and check
for errors (such software is not "perfect" and produces errors here and
there).

Colleagues,
I have coordinates of “small” molecule in pdf format, i.e. its an
image of pdb file and it doesn’t let me select text. The molecule has
>150 atoms, so doing it by hand is not an option. How would one go
around it?
The molecule is polymyxin B and doesn’t exist in databases like CSD,
Hic-up or PDB. If some of you happen to have it please share. Thank you.
PS The pdf is available from ACS website as a supplementary material
and is also attached here.
Thank you.
