You might want to look at Open Office openoffice.org
for making PDFs. I haven't checked on how well to
keeps everything, but it is an image of the document,
links, headers, etc. are retained. I have never tried
any of the PDF to DOC programs, but id you search, you
will find several. I used a free PDF-to-TXT program
that worked fairly well but all formatting was lost.
PDF2HTML is a pretty good program for converting http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pdf2html.html .
