I just took a look at a .pdf in BBEdit, and it certainly doesn't look like a trivial matter to convert it to ASCII.
Try one of the various GNU PDF viewers.
But it got me thinking that an offline html viewer would probably be relatively simple [for someone else] to program. I don't mean a fancy graphical thing, just a basic text-browser and maybe something like ][ GIF to view images on the 128K version. HTML seems like a better bet as far as universality goes, and file sizes are a lot more in line with the Apple II's capabilities.
The problem with HTML is it's designed for screen display. PDF can be used for either screen or printer output.
