Is it at all possible to open a PDF as a .txt file within TextMate?
Not sure what you want here. A PDF is a binary file and it doesn’t embed its textual content as ASCII / unicode.
If however you have something that can convert a PDF to some sort of textual representation, then you can setup that to run as an import hook, when TextMate opens a PDF file. We have done this for compiled AppleScript, binary property lists, and possibly a few other binary formats that can easily be converted to text.
