Convert PDF document to Word

[Short]

Hi all

I’m struggling to convert a PDF document to Word and wondered if anybody could help? I’m sure there was an activity for it a few years ago but looks like it’s gone

So far, I’ve tried copying the file and saving it as a .pdf format but the document doesn’t open due to corruption.

Thanks

Ah I’ve tried that but it only copies the text, I’d want any images and tables copied over too
