Thank you, I just tried pdftohtml. The HTML it produced was just a bunch of numbers, each on it's own line. That may be because the PDF was in Hebrew?

Have you tried viewing the HTML page in a browser?
If the numbers are like &xxx; then they're simple HTML encoded characters.

See W3C's pages for more info on special characters.

W3C are the people that develop and maintain the HTML standards (if I'm not mistaken).

Yes, of course I tried in a browser. Firefox, to be specific.

What kind of character encoding does the HTML page use?
You can find that at the top in the HTML file.
