I haven’t seen any tools that will “parse” or convert a PDF to XML files that are free. You can check a company called ITEM FIELD. They seem to have a nice collection of webMethods translators.

There’s plenty of tools to convert text to PDF. If you look there, maybe you’ll find what you are looking for.

If you can handle the reading of PDF, the writing is a non-issue.
