I generally convert to .RTF rather than Word because Calibre doesn't handle Word files (or at least it doesn't handle the Word files I've tried). I use Nuance PDF Converter, it OCRs and converts to various formats. It's not a perfect conversion but it's the best I've found for PDFs at a not too bad price.

The problem with the free converters I've tried is that the footers, headers, and page numbers are included in the conversion and then you have to go back and edit out all of that. I haven't compared the OCR in the free converters to the Nuance product but the Nuance program seems much better to me.
