One option is to insert blocks of the document as a picture. To do this:
1. Open your PDF in Reader
2. Choose the Graphics Select Tool from the toolbar (click and hold the toolbar button to the right of the zoom tool; when the flyout menu appears, click the rightmost button on it).
3. Use the Graphics Select Tool to drag a rectangle surrounding the area of the page you'd like to copy.
4. Choose Edit, Copy or press Ctrl+C, then switch to Word and choose Edit, Paste or press Ctrl+V to paste a copy of the selected area of the PDF file into your document.
5. If the result seems too low-resolution, switch back to Reader and without changing anything else, type a higher zoom percentage into the zoom text box at the lower left of the Reader window, then re-do the copy and paste into Word. The higher the zoom percentage, the higher the resolution of the image that comes into Word.
Don't get carried away here ... zoom in by degrees until you get a decent image. I went for the full 800% zoom the first time I tried it and won't be doing that again soon. It brought my system to its knees.
If you have the full version of Adobe, then save the document as RTF (or something common) and then import the file.
The above steps will only work realistically for a document of a few pages.
