Ok, there must be something basic and simple I am missing here but I have never done this and I just have to ask since I have wasted half of a day trying to convert a simple PDF to word and I keep getting JPGs for pages whatever online or offline service I use.

The PDF was initially made by converting from Word, so it's not an image PDF. I initially used UDC (Universal Document Converter) to convert from word to PDF. Now I have misplaced the file and I have just shortened my life by ignorantly trying to convert back to word and getting a bunch of JPGs every time..

Please help, anyone
