Good question! What I have done in the past is to convert each page of the
PDF file to a jpeg then insert the jpegs into my Word document... a tedious
task, I know. If anyone has a better method, I would love to learn about it!

Thank you for posting, I am not sure if my boss is willing to do 130 pages
that way. Maybe someone else will have a better answer for us both!! Thanks
again.

Essentially you want to convert a pdf into word. Usually, the available software for pdf to Word is not doing a perfect job, although quite recently a new pdf converter from Nuance seems to do a near perfect job (seems, because I read a review and didnt check it).

You can only insert a PDF file into Word as an object (and then only if you
have Acrobat/Reader version 7 or later). Objects cannot span pages so you
would see only the first page of the PDF.

If you have the full version of Acrobat you can save the PDF as a Word
document. Whether it would be editable rather depends on how it was created
and there would undoubtedly be formatting anomalies.

OCR software eg Finereader will convert the document to and editable
version. How accurately it will do this depends on the nature of the PDF.

The whole point of PDF is that it is a finished graphical document format
that is not intended to be edited. Who has the document from which the PDF
was created?
