Assuming Richmond is on Linux, there is the pdf2html command line tool. It can output PDFs as html, xml, or as images. I got the latter quite by accident once - I think it came from choosing the -c param (meaning 'complex pdf'). You can select the start and end pages, thus if it is one page you want from a PDF, you should be able to export to xml and extract the changes you want with script, then re-produce the PDF. I'm pretty sure you will lose a lot of the formatting if the PDF is anything other than a basic container. But at least you get the document's content in a paginated form, and you can work with the text contents.
I think pdf2html also exists for other platforms.
