Have a family tree which was typed in pdf format. Is there any way I can
change this pdf document to a Microsoft Word document.
 
Not for free. There are pdf converters. I have ScanSoft's PDF Converter.
I've had mixed results. If it's just a plain old Word doc without a boatload
of "fancy stuff", it's okay. It's miserable with a .pub file.
 
That's a consequence of how the original file was created, rather than of
the converter. Acrobat itself makes a pig's breakfast of many non-Word
formats when converted to Word: if the original was structured as a
document, there's really no way to turn it into one automatically.

It can't have been typed in PDF. PDF is an output format. You create the
document in an application (could be anything, but Word is very common), the
*convert* it to PDF for distribution. Go back to whoever created it and ask
what they used. It might well have been created in the Word in the first
place.
