I've done a brief Google w/o success. Is there some reasonable way to
convert PDF to Latex or to any readable markup?

In DEbian there is a package called xpdf-utils. That contains pdftotext:


NAME: pdftotext - Portable Document Format (PDF) to text converter
SYNOPSIS: pdftotext [options] [PDF-file [text-file]]
DESCRIPTION: Pdftotext converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to plain text. Pdftotext reads the PDF file, PDF-file, and writes a text file, text-file.


There is an option:
-htmlmeta: Generate a simple HTML file, including the meta information. This simply wraps the text in <pre> and </pre> and prepends the meta headers.


pdftotext will give you the text but not the markup. :-(
