A:

You can use PDF to Text (PDF2Text - http://www.pdftron.com/downloads.html#PTCMD)
to convert PDF to XML.

You may want to try the following options when running the converter:

pdf2text -o test_out -f xml --output_bbox my.pdf

To output only the first page use:

pdf2text -o test_out -a 1 -f xml --output_bbox my.pdf

To output positioning information for each word use "--
xml_words_as_elements" option. For example:

pdf2text -o test_out -f xml --output_bbox my.pdf --
xml_words_as_elements

To include text sytle information (such as font, font size, color,
etc) include "--xml_output_styles" option. For example:

pdf2text -o test_out -f xml --output_bbox my.pdf --
xml_words_as_elements --xml_output_styles
