I use Google Docs for this. Handy for Word documents as well. I've also tried the command line tool pdftohtml, although I found how well it works depends on the complexity of the document. This was some time ago - it may have improved since then.

Perhaps I missed the option, but Google Docs doesn't appear to allow viewing a document as HTML if it was uploaded as a PDF - is there some setting or link I'm not seeing? – MBillock Oct 7 '09 at 14:06
@MBillock: Once you have the PDF uploaded, you can do File->Download file as->HTML (zipped). That's how I use it, anyway. – ire_and_curses Oct 7 '09 at 15:41
I don't see a File menu anywhere, perhaps google has changed the application? I don't see any way to download as html. – P a u l Dec 23 '09 at 15:34

I like pdfreflow for creating easily editable HTML files from PDFs; it makes use of pdftohtml from the poppler libraries in the backend.

Another option is the free, open source AbiWord word processor which has its own PDF import routine, and HTML output.
