I go from PDF to Word using Scansoft (now called Nuance) PDF Converter
Professional and then this can be output as an RTF for FrameMaker to
read.
Relatively inexpensive solution!

Thanks to everyone who replied.
This was a small, one-time job so save as RTF was the best solution but
it's great to know there are other options.

Hello Framers
Could anyone guide me on any utility that converts pdf to Framemaker keeping
the layout and formatting intact.
I have been doing the same using the RTF option; but if anybody on the list
of some converter tool, that would be more then good. :)
Thanx for your help

PDF is mostly a one-way street. It's an end product. The text in a PDF is
set line by line and page by page. Any method of converting PDF back to
formatted text and graphics is going to involve a good deal of work and

It always puzzles me how companies make decisions. Adobe has included a
function within Acrobat to convert PDF to RTF, the file format of their
competitor, but not to FM which is one of their own file formats. Perhaps
there is not enough demand for PDF->FM?
