There are some limitations in retaining formats when exporting text from a PDF back to Word. Acrobat 8 Professional has improved the exports of files that retain formatting, but it's not exact.

You can try to copy/paste sections of a PDF file or play with the export options. However getting an exact duplicate of your PDF file in Word is not likely.
