You can use the good Word document.

Hi,

To edit a pdf, it is always recommended to open the original source file.

The challenge here is that you are trying to open a document not designed in a linear way in MS Word. Also, the fonts seems to create issues. 

The properties of the file indicate that The Leading PDF Platform for Developers | iText (itextpdf.com) was used to create the pdf. 

Next, fonts Type 1 were used to create the file, using custom embedding. That is another point that will make the conversion create inacurate elements. 

Can you describe what you are trying to achieve?

By exporting to Word, I would be tempted to save all emenets and recreate the file in InDesign. This would allow for a more stable workflow.
