Will Ghostscript let me dump plain text out of a PostScript file?

["Deborah Snavely" <dsnavely@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Situation: 
Legacy documentation exists in PDF format ONLY. Source files not
available, or at least not fast, not necessarily, and not before we need
them (which was last November). 

It's not our legacy doc, I don't CARE about getting the Frame styles out
of it now, and I'm prepared to do a worst-case olden days ASCII dump and
grunt text clean-up in Frame. My other option is to hire a contractor to
start typing into our template, and that'll take me more time to get
authorized. 

I've heard about Ghostscript a hundred times on this list, and hunted it
up online but cannot determine from any of its home pages or
documentation whether it or GSview will let me SAVE the PS it displays.

Adobe has betrayed my confidence by packaging Acrobat Capture separately
from the Acrobat 4.0 "full product", sigh, and I need this PDF content
now (Yesterday. Last week.) to dump into our latest Frame template and
start rebranding doc for an acquired product. (The release was last
Monday.) 

Lesson: if your company ever acquires some other software firm, go right
to the top and start buttonholing people as soon as you hear about it.
Even the selling techies insisted that the source Frame files for
product doc were on the build server...lie. If we hadn't been OEM-in
this thing before we bought 'em, we wouldn't even have the PDF files!
