>Anything really cheap, or free, that will save a PDF to Word easily, or allow annotations? Found one that costs $49, but hoping for something even less:

PDF to Word is always going to be tough. PDF is not a "text" format. A PDF is a picture, just like JPG or GIF. It is not made up of words. It is made up of vector graphics that render properly at any resolution.
Converting a picture to text is ... ummmm ... OCR. I've yet to see an OCR package that's more accurate/cost-effective than paying a typist if there's even a LITTLE formatting involved. Of course, that all depends on the quality of the incoming PDF.
The Word MVPs generally recommend the typist route because they've all been tasked with cleaning up the result of OCR.
PDF is great as a write-only file format. <g>
