I tried the first approach as explained above with pdf-xchange and multi page tiff into word,
but word did not accept more than the first image, that's why I chose importing multiple images after removing the doc margin in order to prevent word from scaling them.

Did you try and import a multi page tiff into word?
or
are you happy with your second solution:

PDF XChange Viewer can export pdfs as image, yo may try this to see if it works in your case:
PDF XChange Viewer:
-file->export->export to image:png,300dpi
MSWord:
-Remove margins on new doc
-insert image from file->order files by name, select them all and insert them into your doc
Edit:
BTW the best pdf to doc converter I have tried so far is VeryPDF PDF2Word,
you might want to try the free online converter or the shareware desktop version.-kilele (December 04, 2012, 08:46 AM)
Re: Can one successfully bring a multi-page tiff into a word processor?
If OCR is not reqd, directly adding a TIFF file via Word import menu is possible but one may have to resize the tiff image inside the doc/docx to fit the page size(A4 , etc.)
These products use OCR/other components to convert to doc/docx or xls/xlsx or other Office formats:
Nuance PDF Converter Pro, FineReader Pro OCR , Nitro Pro OCR edition etc.

Maybe Universal Document Converter 5.5 would help(compatible w/Office 2013) to convert pdf into image files(multiple pages will be correctly handled if choose tiff format, note that color tiff files are usually large size, if black n white tiff files sizes are smaller):

I can print to multi-page Tiff with PDFCreator (which I think Contro uses as well)

Maybe Universal Document Converter 5.5 would help(compatible w/Office 2013) - it converts pdf into image files(multiple pages will be correctly handled if you choose tiff format)- UDC does NOT convert pdf to doc/docx files.

If it's important, I would recommend recreating the file as a DOC from scratch. I have never seen any PDF conversion that was decent (I've tried out many, including Acrobat). Some will convert to pure text somewhat reasonably, but you'll still need to reformat everything and insert fields, images, etc. The image method you mentioned can work, but it will still be a pretty ugly solution.-Renegade (December 03, 2012, 09:29 PM)
