I think that xpdf comes with a program called pdftotext. Haven't tried it myself.

Also, for more formatting, app-text/pdftohtml converts pdfs to html.

Not sure about the software for converting to a pdb file though.

However, have you tried Plucker? It's an opensource offline reader for PalmOS. There is a converter for Linux as well.

You can get Plucker from http://www.plkr.org/. (And plucker.sf.net redirects to that site).

Or, you could even get a program that reads txt files natively (off of a memory card). Eg, SiED can read and edit txt files.
