open the " Microsoft Office ©™ " *.docx file in Libre Office and resave as a txt file
the formatting will be off but you do want a plain text file with NO formatting

unfortunately I have to do it with the console, since libreoffice is not installed.

just did a quick test 'docx2txt.pl foreign.pdf' and äö look fine.
however, on my system:

Code:

$> locale -a
C
POSIX
en_IE.utf8
en_US.utf8
fi_FI.utf8

it seems you are missing sth in the locale department.
