Default PDF to WORD

Is there anyway to pull text from a PDF to make it a word document?

Yes, if you have Adobe Acrobat, it will do this for you.

The purpose of a PDF is to remove editing capabilities so that might be difficult. That said, I've never tried it so I don't know.

Google returns that for a pdf to doc query - http://www.hellopdf.com/

I have 8.0 so it might be different if you have another version...
Here are the directions straight from Adobe:

Export PDFs
You can save a PDF to a number of different file formats, and then open and use that file in other applications. The available formats include both text and image formats. To make a PDF compatible with earlier versions of Acrobat and Adobe Reader, you can resave the PDF to an earlier version of the PDF format.

With the PDF open, do one of the following:
Click the Export button in the Tasks toolbar and choose a file format or choose More Formats.

Choose File > Export, and choose a file format.

Choose File > Save As, and choose a file format from the menu.

Click Settings to set conversion options. (If the Settings button is unavailable, there are no options for the format that you selected.) Click OK to apply the settings. Conversion settings can also be edited in the Convert From PDF Preferences.
Note: These conversion settings are stored separately from the settings used with the Export All Images command.
Click Save to export the PDF to the selected file format.
By default, the source file name is used as the file name, with the new extension, and the exported file is saved in the same folder as the source file. When you save a PDF in an image format, each page is saved as a separate file.

--> Our Adobe is the reader only.
--> The converter I just used turned it into a picture in word and not text.
--> I think it's a lost cause, unless someone wants to try to do it for me
