Is there an option for the conversion of PDF files to Openoffic/word

The simple answer is "No." The longer answer is almost "Yes."
The first point to make is that you should not be trying to do this.

But there is a simple way to achieve what you want. Open the PDF in the
freeware Adobe Reader. (You have this - right?) Select all the text
and copy it to the clipboard (or use the "Copy File to Clipboard"
function.) Then simply paste this into a new word processor document.
(This could be in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Writer.)
In OOo Writer you can choose also:
'Edit' -> 'Paste Special' (Ctrl + Shift + V);
depending on the PDF file there may be several options
(to edit the text: select 'Formatted text [RTF]' ...
You will retain
some but not all of the formatting, and you will probably have to sew
individual lines back into paragraphs. But it will save you retyping
everything.
And yes: if you use OpenOffice Writer, you can then save the resulting
document as a Word (.doc) file if you wish.
