RE: Is it possible to export a FM file without including all of the conditional text?

2011-12-06 Thread Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net)
Unfortunately, after some testing some months ago, I came to the conclusion that the Acrobat X PDF to Word (RTF) conversion is not good for anything for documents with things like tables, even in the latest versions of Acrobat. I would recommend that it is *far* better to use some other tool.
