That is the first one I tried, too 🙁 I have a lot of tables and formatting and it was all overlapped and out of alignment.

Convert PDF to Word and preserve the original layout of your PDF in an editable Word Document.

they lie then 🙁

Acrobat professional?

Can do "save as" and save as a doc.

I can save something to a doc if you want.

I was just working on finding the same thing last night. The best I came up with was PDF2WORD. Problems were that the free one will only do the first five pages of your PDF and that it inserted a carriage return at the end of each line, but it reproduced my paper very well and will reportedly do images as well. $40 gets you the full version, but I'm not sure it's worth that much unless you're doing this a lot.

pdf to word mostly relies on the people who created the pdf having embedded the text in it. if not, it'll use some sort of ocr, with probably not very good results. and you may not get the graphics, lines, etc., working right.
