Not that I see a whole lot of utility in this endeavor, but it's
possible to do a decent PDF to plain text conversion. I tried some of
the online tools that do this and found <http://www.pdftextonline.com>
to do the best job with the Postgres manual. I didn't bother trying
any client-side applications which do the same job.
Attached is a short snippet of a text export of the PDF manual.
