It will be almost impossible to get the same layout as the original document
without a great deal of work. It is not a task I would want to undertake,
and the probability of document corruption is huge so I would urge you to
save versions - see
http://www.gmayor.com/save_numbered_versions.htm
You need to examine the borders and margins of the tables (which from OCR
may be all different from one another) and reset them to give you the sort
of results you require. It may be worth copying them into a new document to
work on them - or even into Excel - then create a new document from the
various parts. PDF files were not intended to be reverse engineered in this
way.

OCR at its best is somewhat hit and miss.

I have a huge document that was OCR scanned from a PDF file. It
contains more than 130 tables. On nearly all tables, the bottom
border will not appear. I have seen the same problem in both Word
2000 and Word 2007. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to get the
bottom borders to appear? Thanks.
Thanks but the FAQ doesn't help. It's not the bottom of pages that
are the problem. It's only the bottom border of tables. I can grab a
handle and drag the table to the point where the bottom border
appears but this then pushes material at the bottom of the page down
into the next page.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
