Instead of all these fancy pointy-clickey ways, try on one of the tools
from poppler-utils (should be installed by default in 10.04, or at least
I don't remember ever installing them).

For example:

pdftotext - converts pdf files to text files
pdftohtml - converts pdf files to HTML files
pdftops - converts pdf to PostScript
pdftoabw - converts pdf to AbiWord format

http://poppler.freedesktop.org/

And it's all shell, so you can script it to run against all the PDFs you
have...
