I'm looking for a free and accessible pdf converter. I usually just use pdf2txt@adobe.com or pdf2html@adobe.com, but sometimes, the file is too big, and now, it's not working at all. I want something just for converting pdf to txt, html or rtf. I don't need anything fancy. But I also want the work to make sense. I downloaded something once and it came out horribly. I know I could technically download the new Acrobat Reader, but I really don't want to go through all of that. So please, can anyone help me before I go nuts? Wait, I already am nuts! lol

Checkout textpal (or edsharp) by Jamal Masui. I don't have the url, but do a google on textpal and that should get it for you.

It's a text editor for the blind and has some neat features, but, unfortunately, is more technical than most people want to mess with.

However, it will convert pdf files.
