You could make your program do this. This is the long, but easy way:

- Open the PDF file
- Copy the text in it
- Open Microsoft Word
- Paste the text in it
- Save it

hi,

step 1: Add this .dll file in your application.
   
            SautinSoft.PdfFocus.dll

step 2 :Follow this code:
             

SautinSoft.PdfFocus f = new SautinSoft.PdfFocus();
f.OpenPdf(@"c:\yourpdf.pdf");
 
if (f.PageCount > 0)
{
  f.ToWord(@"c:\Resultdoc.doc",PdfFocus.eWordFormat.Rtf_WithShapes);
}

you can't convert pdf to word using iTextSharp you can use third party tool which directly write the word document with DataTable and other customize input.
