Convert PDF to HTML using Gmail

Stolen from Labnol.org, you can 'covert' your PDF to HTML instantly using Gmail. All you need is a Gmail account.
  1. Compose new message, attach your document.
  2. Send the message to your own email address in Gmail.
  3. Not so long, you'll receive the email you send before.
  4. Open the message, and click "View as HTML".

Gmail will show the following file types as HTML: .pdf, .doc, .xls, .ppt, .rtf, .sxw, .sxc, .sxi, .sdw, .sdc, .sdd, and .wml. You can extend this trick to extract text from PDF documents (PDF to Txt) or Convert Adobe PDF documents to Word (PDF to Doc conversion). First convert the Document to HTML with Gmail and then open the HTML file in Microsoft Word and choose Save as .doc. 

Note: If there are images in the attachment, they will not be displayed.
