How do I convert a pdf to a fillable word document

I am having difficulty converting a pdf to fillable word document. The fonts change from line to line and it isn't lining up.

Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content so you must be using one of Adobe's online subscription services.
Perhaps ExportPDF or PDF Pack.
The export is of the page content. However, PDF (the file format / technology) has no "style", "formats", etc. -- PDF is not a word processing file format.
So, the software does the best it can with what it is provided.
Thing is "export" is impact very much by what created the PDF and how the PDF was made (the "under the hood" stuff).
GIGO is operative and the output pretty much identifies the caliber of the input (what is "under the hood").
Good to know is that for optimal export one wants a well-formed Tagged PDF (an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
Two key design considerations of "Tagged" PDF are "accessible" PDF and export of PDF page content.
What to do?
Once you have the output Word file you will have to perform requisite cleanup. Then rebuild form field using Word's tools.
Be well...

Any ideas on how to ensure the document is coverted?

You can try to print and scan the file to pdf (to make it a flat pdf) and convert it to word. However, could you send me your pdf that has interactive form fields to [email protected], so I can investigate?
Thanks.

How do i convert a pdf file to a word doc in order to make changes

How do I convert a pdf file into a word doc in order to make chnages?

You need Acrobat and can then use File --> Save As... --> Microsoft Word. Just don't expect miracels. PDFs aren't meant for editing and you may end up with clumps of text and lose all formatting and may have to rebuild the document completely.

Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work?

Pls tell me how I can convert a PDF form to a Word doc, and have radio buttons etc work? My PDF form did convert using Adobe PDF Export.... but the formatting is a schamozzle if I try to do anything with it. Most importantly, I need the check boxes and radio buttons to work in Word!

Checkboxes and radio buttons are form objects from Acrobat. There is no equivalent for these objects, with the way they were constructed, within Word.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
