            AFAIK, PDF isn't really a fully editable format like Word. Using Adobe I can "touch up" a document, i.e. change words on a line, but replacing images, re-justifying long/short lines, no.

              Yep, you can edit text but it is pretty basic.

              I find it much easier to create what I need in a word processing programme (with any necessary tables or pictures) then PDF it up from there.

                Run it through an OCR program.

                  XPDF can be used for a lot of stuff, but you do need X11 to run it on.

                    You should be able to "Select All" text and just paste into Word

                      Adobe Acrobat.

                      But as someone has said, it is pretty limited.
