Every time I have used Acrobat to convert PDF to Word, the only usable parts have been the tables. The rest is generally garbage.

Fortunately, the tables were the only parts I wanted! I needed to get them from the PDF into text (csv) form. So, from Word, I copied the tables, pasted them into Excel, and saved that as csv. Easy as 1-2-3-4-5!
