Tammy and other Framers I have not yet found a satisfactory method of converting PDF (from Frame) to Word. I've used Nitro Pro and Tracker Software's products with PDF to Word conversion features, but the results are not viable as a go-to solution. In fact, the larger the document, the worse the outcome. Headers and footers slip pages, content is not stable, and so forth. Word is a tricky beast with sometimes bloated code (XML?) under the cover that the resultant file is huge and becomes unmanageable navigating and editing. Oh, how I wish there was a clean tool.

It’s a heavily detailed scientific guide that I’m also single sourcing to produce another guide from. I’ve gone round and round with my client on this, but they’ve decided that they want everything in Word now, despite all my articulate arguments about why Word is not the source tool you want to use for something like this. That said, that means I have to convert this beast to a word document. I know I’m probably up the proverbial creek without a paddle, but is there any even remotely possible way to do this short of copying and pasting everything in and manually reformatting ? I have tons across references. I have numbered figures that need to remain numbered sequentially. I have a bibliography that uses super scripts for cross references, etc. It’s just a nightmare and I don’t even want to think about starting this but I don’t have a choice.Any and all advice short of drinking heavily and running away is appreciated Thank you so much,TamSent from my iPhone.
