Is there a webservice that allows you to send in files (PDF with images, png, jpeg etc.) through an API and have the service send you a .txt, .doc or a pdf of the same file with the text embedded?

Docsplit comes to mind, but it's not in web-API form: http://documentcloud.github.com/docsplit/

Posterous is pretty good. I believe your docs get pushed onto Scribd. But, then again, you can download it as PDF probably from there.
