You won't be able to open it and retain the layout 100%, I'm afraid - that's just the nature of pdf. It's more like a digital "print" than an editable document (which is what it was originally intended for, and excels at being!).

Adobe Illustrator is pretty much the best thing for editing PDFs, but then if you don't have the fonts you're still buggered.

Acrobat Professional does a very decent job of converting from PDF to Word format.

Not a cheap solution.

can't you load it in and save it out as a word doc?
