Answer 1

It depends on how the document was made into a PDF.

If it was scanned, you can only save as an image.

If it was made on a computer using a PDF converter, it will automatically let you copy the text and paste into a WORD doc.

Sometimes though, it is a protected document and it wont let you copy the text even if it was PDFed on a computer and you'll be stuck typing it all out.

There are PDF readers out there that will scan a document and try and read it into text, but the free versions of the software very rarely work and when they do it puts it into a weird format that is harder to edit than if you typed it yourself.
