If what you need is a tool for doing pdf conversions (nowadays there are plenty), try GhostView. If you can't find what you are looking for there, then don't look any further.

There is a pod2html converter that comes with the ActivePerl distribution, you should read the perldocs (perldoc pod2html).

Pod files come practically from the comments that the programmers add to their code. So, if you would just generate a text pod-like file, why not copying and pasting from the pdf document (for example, read with Accrobat?). You could always print to a text file.
