PDF to Pages, Keynote converter

[iLearnMac]

Please recommend a Mac app to convert PDF files to Pages, Keynotes (If possible Numbers)
Most apps I saw were doing PDF --> Word, PPT, XLS.

It should not just OCR / Extract Text but rather try and maintain original form, fonts as much as possible.
would be great if it works with PDFs of non English language too, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi & Tamil.
Would prefer a one time license rather than a subscription.

(I am seeking alternate to Adobe Acrobat. Adobe is subscription only, and since usage is not heavy rather sparse,
so subscription may turn expensive in longer run.)

Thanks in advance.

Word, PPT and XLS files can be opened in Pages, Keynote and Numbers, so if your converter puts out e.g. a .doc/.docx-file, Pages will open it and you can edit along.

I have used PDFPen Pro for years to convert PDF files to Word, Excel and Powerpoint files. From there as @Slartibart says you can then open these is the corresponding iWork format (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) and then save them as a native format to those apps. PDFPen is a great PDF app with most of the functionality of Adobe's App, but at a fraction of the price (although not an inexpensive App). PDF conversion using PDFPen Pro is pretty good and most of the time gives a good match to the PDF original. PDFPen Pro can convert Japanese and Chinese and a number of other non English languages, but as I only ever convert English I can't say how well they work.

They offer a free trial so you can try it out before you buy.
