Jim, Unless I misunderstand the process and the evidence of my own eyes, if you make sure that you don't downsample or compress images during the conversion to Word, you get exactly the image quality that was available in the original document, no more and no less.

Then the PDF becomes your source file for the graphics. This works no matter what the original graphic format was or how they got into Word.

The graphics are embedded but the client wants them imported by reference in Frame. I tried "extracting" them from Word by saving a file as HTML but the graphics became blurry and unusable. They look fine when I open the Word file in Frame. Is there a way to extract graphics from Word without losing quality? Or a utility that converts embedded graphics in Frame into imported- by-reference? Thanks for any help.
