I dont know of any way to convert a PDF, unfortunately. Maybe we could
contact the author and see if they have the source (TeX or whatever)
that was used to generate the PDF in the first place.
On a related note, I've found out today that O'Reilly publishers
occasionally release the text of their older books back to the
community. Sometimes they even grant open-content licenses (such as
GFDL) to reusers of this content. Maybe we could get in touch with
them and scavenge through some of their older books? O'Reilly operates
a wiki where they release the code of their books and (amazing!) it's
MediaWiki so reuse would be direct.

I may get in touch with them and see what books they have that are
GFDL'd that we can get our hands on.

GFDL-licensed. I'll upload a PDF; anyone have a good (semi-)automated way to
make this wiki markup?
