I had the same question. Pdf to rtf service was the best I found. This app lets you open PDF documents in text edit. You install it by copying the .service file into a folder on your hard drive. The folder is specified in the readme. Your document is still a PDF, so you'll have to copy and paste to a new document and then save the new document in the format which you prefer. Here's a download link for this app. http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/17950/pdf2rtfservice Another option is to open preview, hit command-a, command-c, and paste your text into text edit. This will work for most PDF's.
