Convert PDF to DOC or FM

Hi, The question is, where did the PDF come from. For instance, in some PDF files created where I work, the text is actually exported from a graphics program as a graphic, and therefore it cannot be easily turned into Word or Frame. In other words, are you sure that the text in the PDF is

Can I customize what elements display when linking cross-references?

I am using FM 7.2 (Structured) with Windows XP. We were given new safety pages to replace the old ones in all of our books. There is a mini TOC at the beginning of the chapter that is very similar with three exceptions. Therefore, most of the links do not get lost, but I have to re-link those
