If you want only a crude representation I think there are programs that strip latex commands and output the text (you'll lose the math, tables, etc of course); but for properly typeset output, there are no shortcuts to latex. Also, if you have cross-references and so on you may need to run latex twice (and on rare occasions, three times).
