How do I convert a scanned PDF document into a Word document so I can edit it? I have Acrobat Reader DC.

    Reader itself cannot do that. You can purchase an add-on subscription that will allow it.

    You need to subscribe Adobe Acrobat. Once you have installed the Adobe Acrobat, go to Tools> Export PDF, Adobe will process OCR automatically on the scanned document, then choose output as Word. Done!

    That is definitely another option although an expensive one that comes with a lot of other features they may or may not use.
