This sort of depends on exactly what kind of document this is. XML covers a pretty wide range of things...
Could you perhaps copy a few lines of what you see in a Text Editor or XML viewer and paste it into a reply?
What are you expecting when you open this file in Word? Are you expecting it to show you a 'document'?
Based on your original question, my expectation would be that you're expecting to see something like you do in the XML Editor. And with Word 2007 I'd expect that only if you haven't got Word 2007 installed with the post-January updates for North America, which removes XML from the user interface (due to a court decision).
Converting Pdf To Xml Format
I'd only expect a 'document' if the file had been saved in Word 2003 (Windows) as an XML file, or in the new *.docx file format. If you're seeing 'MAC' in there, that's probably not the case. Question is, though, whether this is just an instruction for Internet Explorer, or whether the basic XML is totally different. Do you know what program created the document? Do you have contact with the person?
Cindy Meister, VSTO/Word MVPI have to do some automation of converting Word documents to PDF. By doing some research, I found that starting from Microsoft Office 2007, Word documents are XML based. Furthermore, I found that there is a free solution ApacheFOP doing conversion from XML to PDF, however, I still didn't manage to find the way to automate it with C#. There is nFOP (version that runs on the .NET framework), but some detailed explanation of implementing it, not really.

You could use docx4j.NET
That's a .NET version of docx4j, which is a Java library which converts docx to PDF using FOP.
See ConvertOutPDF.java
Before you go to the effort of downloading etc, you might want to use the online demo to see whether the PDF output is close to your needs.
**Disclosure: I lead the docx4j project. **
