editing converted pdf to word doc for text editing

[gfw]

I converted a pdf to a word doc. I want to make changes to some of the text.
When I open it up, it appears in a text box. How can I make changes?

You need software that can be used to edit .pdf files, such as Acrobat (not
the free Reader).

If you use Acrobat to save as DOC the text is saved in a variety of frames
to retain the layout of what was a graphical format. You can remove the
frames, but the format will go to pieces. PDF files are not meant to be
edited. That's the whole point of them. You may be able to get a more easily
edited document if you use OCR software such as Finereader, or a third party
PDF conversion utility, but even then you will have some work on your hands.
