Hi Steve
Taking a different tack on this: why do you need to convert to Framemaker?
LaTeX can do beautiful output to a heap of formats - what do you need that it
can't do?

which claims to convert LaTeX to RTF including style information, this might
yield a better conversion than LaTeX-PDF-RTF.

I have had to do this last year.
The way for me was to use the pdf output (very little LaTeX would be
output to dvi anymore) to convert to rtf. Then I brought that into FM.
Figures drawn with MP, epic, etc. were problematic and needed to be
extracted from the pdf with Illustrator. Tables too
My experience with those tools was not positive. They are quite old now
and the world of TeX and friends has changed significantly in the past 5
years. They will not be able to understand packages that are in common
use today. Still, give them a go, there's nothing to lose and much to gain.

I quizzed the group about this back on '07, but the issue has come up again, so
it seemed worth fishing for fresh information. Has anyone been involved in this
type of conversion recently?
Previous discussions seems to center around needing deep TeX and programming
ability, neither of which I

Frank... thanks for your helpful thoughts. I suppose I was just hoping there
was some sort of magic out there.
I'll wait until I hear back from the publisher as to just *why* the authors are
insisting on using LaTeX. The OCR route sounds interesting.
The intern would be me :-(

Yes of course; that would work. Aside from figures, as you say.
