suggestions on manual way to do it plus link to freeware
this mentions a free trial but I couldnt see anywhere, any of the restrictions  http://www.investintech.com/prod_a2d.htm


Im not sure how perfect conversions will be. PDF is supposed to a file format whereby it can be shipped and read by anyone without anyone messing around with it.

I don't see any reference to the limitations of the free download on this site ... http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2word/index.html
Apparently it is shareware ... a fully functional version that you SHOULD pay to use for continuned use  :)
Check out this awesome software Solid pdf converter

If you have acrobat full version then too you can save pdf to word.

If you dont have acrobat full i would personaly recommend Solid Pdf conveter.

The output created by solid pdf converter is very good if compared to other softwares.

Its upto to decide the best. Try all pdf converters. But i am quite sure Solid Pdf Converter will do the job.

As far i know there is no free software in pdf to word. Even if it is there it wount give the best output as Solid pdf converter

I'll post my comment here also-

 With the PDF document open in Acrobat 7 Standard or Professional, choose File > Save As. In the Save As dialog box, choose Microsoft Word Document from the Format (Mac) or Type (Windows) pop-up menu. Then simply click the Save button, and open the document in Word for editing.

To check or change the settings that Acrobat uses to convert PDF content to Word format, open Preferences (choose Acrobat > Preferences on the Mac or Edit > Preferences in Windows) and choose Convert From PDF from the list of Categories on the left side of the dialog box. Then choose Microsoft Word Document from the Converting From PDF scrollable list. The window at right shows you how Acrobat will handle the conversion, including whether it will include comments, preserve columns and downsample images. To change these settings, click the Edit Settings button. (Alternatively, you can change these settings when you convert any given document by clicking the Settings button in the Save As dialog box.)

The conversion may not be perfect, depending on factors such as the complexity of the layout, and whether you have the document's fonts on your system. For simple business documents, Acrobat's Save As command does a decent job of converting to Word.
Any update?
