install office 2013 perview. You can save files as PDF and you can open PDF files using MS word and edit. Best way to do PDF-WORD-EXCEL-PPT stuff! All in one for free! :D

Saving of PDF files into Office documents such as Word and Excel is a feature included in Acrobat X Pro. If you have some USD 200 to spare that is :) . Here is more about the feature:

For the other way round – MS Office already has a free plugin to save each office file (Excel is among them) into PDF:

I think you could try 3rd party tools that may help you at some point.
This one, pdf converter could convert pdf to 7 formats:

NitroPDF has come in handy for me a few times. It’s not free software but much, much cheaper than Adobe Acrobat.

I’m on Excel for Mac & my page goes below my screen. I can’t figure out how to bring the bottom of the page up because it’s no way I can get to it. Does this make sense? This excel doc has 7 pages & I need to get to the other pages, but can’t because it’s below my screen. I can scroll down, but somehow there are a million lines & can’t get to the bottom where the different page tabs are! I’ve done this before & have no clue how to get to the bottom. I do not want to have to redo this doc. Thank you.
