That is a good question, and I wanted to know the answer myself, so I called the vendor's customer support and asked.
The answer is, "no, it won't convert a password-protected pdf.

It not only converts both ways, pdf to Word and Word, but to Excel also. And the professional version is way more versatile.

Yes, I know this is backwards (and we all know the benefits of Frame over Word)." Yvonne, I was recently faced with the very same situation. Like you, I understand that telling other departments "just to go out and purchase Framemaker" may not be a workable option. Thus, after trying several different workarounds, we hit upon one that worked quite well: I first used FrameMaker to create a PDF. Then, I used a program called "PDF to Word" which is manufactured by a company called Very PDF. (http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2word/index.html). This program took my PDF and created a Microsoft Word document much smaller than my previous attempts. And at $39.95, this is a much cheaper solution than telling others to buy another copy of FM! (And no, I don't work for "Very PDF". I'm hyping their product free of charge! :) -Brad Simmons _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as david.eason at lsi.com.
