you can unlock the protection with a small software easily available but I don't know how you turn a pdf doc into a word doc

Use gsview to re-render the file to a new pdf.

Hmm.....under DMCA, bypassing copyright protection is a violation of federal law, and will get you locked up in the slammer. First, you can remove security protection by using a tool called, hmmmm.....let me check my programs, ah...Advanced ebook processor. After security has been removed from pdf file, simply copy and paste to word doc, or using Adobe acrobat 6 and save directly as word doc.
