Convert Pdf document to wikitext

At present, we do not have a simple one-step PDF-to-MediaWiki translation process which retains the desired text formatting. Please use this way:

1. Convert (save) the PDF to a another format like Word, OpenOffice or Html type,... then
2. Convert the resulting file into MediaWiki format.
