Shmuel has nailed the detail for you: saving out of PDF gets you almost 
nothing, because you are interposing a massively different format (PDF) when 
you don't need to (Frame -> RTF). With that route your biggest task is likely 
to be sorting out inserted images, if there are any.

'convert... into Word so others can maintain after I'm gone' is as familiar as 
it is disturbing: I have been reading the same thing for more than two decades.

Assuming that you are meticulous in creating your ex-FrameMaker output, your 
soon-to-be-ex colleagues will need an unusually high level of Word skills to 
maintain your documents in their current state. My own experience has suggested 
that this is almost never the case.

By heck, if you're well out of it, should you care?
