I am *SURE* this is a FAQ!

To what extent can postscript be converted to ascii?  What programs are
available to do this?

I understand that getting a 'best' result would be very hard. (ie one where
text was positioned correctly etc.)

Can the paragraph groupings be recovered?

Anyone know of anything?
