You could use a web viewer that has the URL to the file then use the function: GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( objectName ; attributeName { ; repetitionNumber ; portalRowNumber} )

The object would be a name given to the webviwer and the attribute name would be "contents" this could be a calculation or a set field into a text field where then you can export field contents to your hard drive.
