Define manipulate.

Extract text - pdftotext or gpdftext (gpdftext can export the text back
to a different kind of PDF suitable for ebook readers).

Conversion to HTML - lots, pdf2html etc.

Create another kind of PDF - convert to HTML, extract images and
recreate a OOo document.

Create new PDF's - LaTeX / Docbook - just keep the source somewhere
public.
