Importing Multiple Page PDFs into a Word doc

2010-01-11 Thread Rick Quatro
If you import the PDF pages into anchored frames in the FrameMaker file, and save it as an RTF, the pages from the PDFs are preserved in the resulting Word file. Of course, if you import the PDFs directly onto the FrameMaker pages (and not in an anchored frame), they don't export to the Word file.
