You might know this, but postscript files are not pdf files. They're
totally different.

I just tried it on a couple pdf files, using Kword. It imported the old
tax returns all right, and I could even go in there and edit, but did
not do well on a large PDF file from the local area transit company. But
that might be expected, as it is fairly large and has a ton of line
segments (it's a map).
