I am at the stage I eventually get to with every paper to date, where my supervisors want to Look At It and are Not Interested in dealing with LaTeX, where I much prefer to work in it, so now I'm gradually moving everything over into LibreOffice with reference to about three different files, and I know I bring this on myself but I really prefer LaTeX for early drafting.

Having said which, TeX4HT might do what I need it to...

Or look into latex2html.

Basically script the process of LaTeX -> HTML -> Word/LibreOffice. IIRC Libreoffice can be run in batch mode from a command line. Trying to extract text in any useful form from a PDF that TeX has generated is hopeless -- a lot of TeX's adjustments for kerning etc. get mixed in with the text stream.
