converting pdfs with xpdf



Hello,
I'm running freebsd6 and xpdf 3.01_2. I've got pdfs that i want to convert to ps and text documents in four different areas in my home directory. I could convert them such as:
pdfto format file1.pdf file2.ps etc.
but i was wondering if there was a faster way? My second issue is some of these files are pdf 1.6 and as i've already tried xpdf won't convert these docs, does anyone have xpdf working with pdf 1.6 files?
Second, after i convert all these docs there are three patterns i'd like to remove from them, all having spaces and & signs in them. Again, i could do this manually, but i was wondering one if there was a faster way and two if i could do this on the tail end of the conversion process so i would only have to issue one command and come back probably a while later, these files are big, and it's all done?
Thanks.
Dave.
