I found 2 alternatives:
AdobeReader has an option to save a (pdf-) file to text. The lay-out of 
the .txt file is somewhat disapointing. (Tabs, tables, alignment in the 
.txt file differs a lot from the  .pdf file).
However it might be worthwhile to try. AdobeReader is available as rpm 
from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Another tool able to extract textfiles from .pdf files is xpdf 
(http://freshmeat.net/projects/xpdf/).
