Good afternoon.
I am providing another option that might help here.
robobraille,
www.robobraille.org
Provides services, free of charge, that will convert pdf files to a
number of different formats, including .html
They provide audio, mobi, and convert epub files too..but I digress.
As a test, consider sending your file to
convert at robobraille.org
correctly of course.
in the subjectline put html
leaving the body blank, and attach the file.
See if the .html file returned meets your needs.
Best,
Karen

Hello,
this very much depends on what you are expecting it to do. In general,

Second sentence should read:

I'm attempting to read a USDA document.[1]
The printed version of this document is marginally readable.
Tools such as "Atril Document Viewer" provide selected magnification.
For this particular document and monitor, 150% is comfortable. Requires
re-positioning the viewpoint 500 to 600 times to read document.
For _this_ document, Atril can select all the text on a page in a manner that
can be pasted in a "reasonable" manner to a Pluma document.
It will:
a. ignore actual graphics.
b. put title/headings/??? on a separate line.
c. all text between full page-width title/headings/??? will be
treated as a logical unit.
It will not:
1. put a blank line between paragraphs.
2. put a blank line above/below lines containing title/headings/???.
3. identify superscripts in some manner.
All this suggests that it should be able to extract text from a PDF and
create a HTML document likely using only <p>, <br>, <sup>, and <li> in its
<body>.
