Not directly what you asking for. Don't know any pdf viewer capable of what you described.
My personal approach would be to extract pdf content to some sort of flat text. Result would be not very visually pleasant at first. (for that phase I would go with the tool pdftotext from poppler-tools package - there it is in openSuSe distro at least) On the long run, if you work with same document for significant time it may pay off to edit it by hand and beautify to something like well shaped markdown.
