Best is to use the software that created the pdf in the first place.

Otherwise use LibreOffice to open the pdf.

If you scan the text will be converted to a bitmap image and will no longer be editable as text, no matter what format you use.

Will Libreoffice work like Word? When I opened the PDF in Word, it mostly retained the text as is (bolding some of it), but it garbled the non-text stuff.
