The problem is that the PDF may not contain a layer with the text of what you see there. This means that your conversion becomes an image recognition task - OCR programs can help you.

If you are lucky enough to have a text layer, you can use Abiword

abiword --to=doc example.pdf

Or LibreOffice

libreoffice --invisible --convert-to docx:"MS Word 2007 XML"
