You cannot copy paste information of a PDF document with formatting. If you want to convert a PDF to Word document for free, some third-party tools are available on the web. When it comes to edit or modify PDF documents, nothing is better than the official software and tools developed by Adobe.
I have tested some online (web-based) and computer native apps to convert PDFs to the Microsoft word, and found converted Word documents are not showing right formatting. That is the reason why I only use Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader to make my PDF editing and conversion task done in the right way or right manner.
