I would like to use an existing pdf designed
invoice in word. If possible, how do I begin typing text within the file?

Word is pretty hopeless at that. For filling in existing pdf forms in
an ad hoc way, you need something that does layers, and lets you place
text on top of a locked layer precisely by eye.
I'd suggest OmniGraffle, Illustrator, or even Photoshop.

On the other hand, if it is your own original invoice, why don't you
lay it all out as you want in Excel? That way it does the sums as well
as look pretty. I have pushed megabucks of invoices through a single
Excel template over the years. It is trivial to place the pretty logos
and everything else you need to make the customer feel good as he parts
with his money. And you can slurp it out for inclusion in the Excel
workbook that does the accounts receivable and the bank recs, and the
tax returns, and the P&L and the cashflow analysis and whatever else
you need to run your business. It is amazing what you can do with
nothing but Excel.
