please try to stay in the same thread.

What you describe seems to be the result of the converter. We cannot say
from here what it really does, but it might not even yield a real (Word)
table, but lines/boxes and some text.

If the tables are all _very_ uniform, one might be able to come up with
a programmatic solution. Otherwise, you probably need to rebuild them
manually. After all, PDF is never meant to be "consumed" by anything
other than a viewer or printer application.
