You might try DeTeX (or OpenDetex, which is easier to find). It strips all LaTeX commands, just leaving the text.

(Old version with Windows executable here: https://code.google.com/archive/p/opendetex/

Newer version, but source only, here: https://github.com/pkubowicz/opendetex )

I am trying to convert many LaTeX documents using Pandoc. However, some of the documents have syntax errors or are poorly formatted, and cause Pandoc to crash. Is there anything I could use, through Pandoc or otherwise, to make these documents usable/convertable? I intend to convert them to plaintext preserving only the content, so I do not need full blown syntax repair as much as I just need a way to eliminate malformed statements. At the bottom of this post, I have attached some of the errors I'm talking about. 

Thanks for any suggestions you guys have.
