You can't use File > Open or Insert > File in Word to open a PDF file...
Word doesn't know how to "read" PDF, so it's showing you the binary
information in the file.

Instead, open the PDF in some application that does know about it -- Acrobat
Reader, most likely -- copy the text to the clipboard, and paste it into a
Word document.

If the PDF is only one page, you can use the Insert > Object > From File
dialog to insert a picture of the page into Word. It won't be editable text,
and it can't extend past the current page.
