I have had some success with pdftohtml <http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/> in XML mode. Last time I did this, pdftohtml didn't created FO, and actually needed some help to generate well-formed XML. The output was useful, though. Beware of multicolumn output, weird character encoding and/or weird character subsetting. Here be dragons. Big ones. I'm told that a company here in Toronto founded by one of the SoftQuad people is working on a commercial solution to this with good AI.
