Do you know how to convert form pdf to pages then to word doc?

There are third party apps that claim to go directly from PDF to Word. Try a search for "PDF to Word" with Google, etc.

1. You Create the equations elsewhere, eg Grapher .app and then transfer them to Pages or anywhere, as pdf graphics.

2. Adobe Acrobat Pro will convert pdf to Word but I am uncertain as to what it will do with the equations.

3. Ordinary text in pdfs can be copied, pasted from Preview .app

There’s a easy and free way, just go to docs.google.com, click the upload button to upload your pdf file. Remember to check the option "Convert text from PDF or image files to Google Docs documents " before you click the “start upload” button. After the upload is done you can find the converted file on your Google Docs, now copy the texts to an empty word file, done! With this method you can also convert pdf to ppt if you copy the converted tsts to your empty ppt file. Or you can simply use a PDF to word converter, Adobe has a professional software that can do that but I can't think of the name right now.

Acrobat Reader has a fee-based Adobe service built-in to convert PDF to Word. Haven't used it, so cannot claim conversion accuracy.
