>>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: http://www.solidpdf.com/features.htm Thanks!

IIRC, PDF is actually a repackaged PostScript. Now if you have something that can unpack it (and my suggestion to use OpenOffice was wrong, I misread "save a PDF to Word" as "save to PDF or Word"), you got yourself a .ps (or .eps) file which may somehow be used.
