The xpdf tools package
(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/xpdf.htm) contains the
"pdftotext" program that extracts the plain text out of the .pdf.
Since this is the _plain_ text, it won't contain the (La)TeX commands,
so you'll have to reenter those yourself.
"pdfimages" is another tool (in xpdf) that can extract graphics from
.pdf files.
