Do you know how to insert a multi-page .pdf file into a Word document?
I know how to do it for 1 page but not for more.
Furthermore, I found a paid software pdf2word.
Is there a "free" option that does the same thing??

There’s an even better solution for the document quality.
You download inkscape (free), open your pdf (it will suggest a mesh criterion) then export to PostScript or Windows Metafile files.
Go to Word, insert an image, point it to the file you generated and it will place it in Word.
What’s the benefit?
Well, it's magic, it retains the vector format, which means that if you reprint your entire Word document as a PDF, you can zoom in as much as you want without losing quality and with a look identical to the PDF!
Of course, this only matters if the PDF you have contains graphics, curves, tables, because if it’s just text, it’s quicker to copy and paste
(besides, don't think that it vectorizes photos (even though it’s possible with Inkscape, that’s not the debate))
Otherwise, if it’s just to copy and paste text (if the traditional copy-paste doesn’t work), there’s in Acrobat Reader, the function to save as text format. There’s no more formatting, but you’ll definitely have the text that you can then paste into Word without any problems (but you’ll have to redo the formatting).
But believe me, I’ve explored the matter, when you don’t have Adobe Pro, Inkscape is the best solution (very useful for snagging curves, diagrams from a PDF while maintaining high vector quality).

Anyway, thank you, it's wonderful.
