You can do it online, just do a search.

I use zamzar.com when I need to do stuff like that. Sometimes it needs a bit of editing afterwards, but it depends on the complexity of the document.

If you have a friend with a Mac (I don't know if it applies on Windows) then you can open a PDF in Word with Office 365.

If you have a recent version of Word, just right-click the pdf file, then click “open with” and select Word

My experience is that it works fairly well, but formatting can fall apart if the pdf has tables, indents, bullet points etc.

Surely a simple copy and paste will work then correct and formatting issues.

Opening in word keeps a surprising amount of formatting (tables, etc)

I use www.smallpdf.com to do all my file type conversions - easy to use and mostly free.
