How do I convert adobe PDF to word or excel

Or even to something else so I can edit it

If it's been scanned you probably can't. If it came from text you may be
able to Select All, Cut, and Paste into something else. Have you tried
that?

I also recommend you to copy and paste text into Word, and edit the
text. Converting never does a perfect work.

However, you could try google, and tons of software is out there.

There are some applications available that will do this - some free, some
not. Do a google.
You may find that the conversion doesn't work very well...
