Convert PDF to Word and keep footnote formatting

Hi all,

I have a PDF that was saved from a Word document. Unfortunately, the original Word document has now been lost. I converted the PDF back to Word using Abobe and it looks the same. However, when I tried to copy and paste or edit the document I realised that the footnote numbers in the text are no longer footnotes but only normal superscript text. 

Is there a way to convert the PDF to Word and keep the footnote formatting?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't thinks so. A conversion will never result in a 100 % copy of you document. There are always a more or less loss of details, depending on the layout.
