Umm, I just pressed Ctrl-A Ctrl-C in adobe reader, then Ctrl-V in a blank 
word document and it copied the lot for me.  Then ran the spell check and 
got this list:

renouned
amoung
assey
convinient
seperate
eleminate
severly
eleminate
clusted
seperate
amoung
constrast
quadriples
negligable

OK so it messes up the ligatures and hyphens, but the above is a start!

But for the long term solution, definitely find a spell checker that works 
in Latex, are there not any IDEs specifically for Latex that will flag up 
spelling errors in-place?
