PDF conversion to text

We often get job specifications in PDF format and have the requirement of re-entering the same information into a Word document. The problem is that the PDF document is structured in multi-level paragraph form and when we cut and paste it into Word, all of the paragraph numbers and letters appear together (1,1.a,1.b,2,2.a,2.b etc), followed by all the text, rather than number, text, number, text, etc (1. Subject heading, 1.a Subheading a, 1.b subheading b, etc). Is there a way to be able to extract the information from PDF w/o having to practically re-type the entire document or using a scanner?
