HELP : PDF TEXT to editable format for photoshop, illustrator or indesign

[benm80203728]

Hello, I am designing a brochure and have been supplied the text as a PDF. The text needs editing, reformatting and the font changed which I understand is done in Acrobat Pro.

There's a lot of text and I was hoping to convert the PDF text to a format I can edit in either photoshop , illustrator or indesign.

Is there a way to export/convert  the  PDF to a type format that can be editable in one of these programs?

I would have thought this would be simple but over 1 hour on the help desk and many more searching tutorials has yielded no help.

Please, what am I missing?

You really don't want to do that in Acrobat anyhow.

But, the pdf format can be directly opened in both Illustrator and Photoshop although I think Illustrator is the better tool. Still "may" be a pain to do that type of editing though.
