When I export a PDF to Word, all of the text in the Word document is in text boxes. Each paragraph is a separate text box. Is there a way to avoid this when exporting to Word?

Unfortunately the quality of using the export to Word capability is very dependent on how the original PDF was created. If the original PDF was tagged, then some of this information can be retained. You can try tagging the document to see if helps.
