Thanks for this, Art, and my apologies for not being more precise. In our case, we have multiple-page, sometimes graphic-intensive PDFs, provided by our vendors, that we include as appendices today. The advantage to being able to bring them purely (or relatively purely) into Frame would primarily be for purposes such as generated tables and internal cross-references. However, placing documents that sometimes have 20-40 individual pages into FM, one page at a time, would not be a process improvement. Nor would it be worthwhile if we had to significantly compromise quality -- then we'd still be better off with our current string of PDFs.

In Acrobat, Save As .rtf and open the file in FM. Both how good / clean it looks and how labor-intensive it is depends entirely on how the original files were built -- with style tags or without, with manual over-rides, lots of tables.... If you have a FM template you're going to impose, you've already solved many of the formatting decisions; it's just a matter of converting tags to different types.
