This can be done online, at sites like PDF to Word Converter. Convert PDF to Word DOC or Excel XLS Online, Extract Images from PDF.

I thought Open Office has a PDF converter built right into it. I know the WIndows Version does...

Default Convert PDF to Doc

I am always amazed at how people do not provide answers to the actual question. Most of the above will not work for converting pdf files to MS docs... or any other kind of doc. One method that does work quite well: Open a Google account and upload the pdf to your Google Documents. Make sure you check the "convert" box. Sometimes requires very little formatting, other times requires extensive formatting, depending on the type of pdf file converted. This method works better than any Linux solution I have found.
