Thanks muchly, Shmuel. I do not have Corel Draw here, but saving a sample 
(FrameMaker 4) graphic out of FrameMaker 12 as PDF and opening it in Adobe 
Illustrator shows all vectors and text to be editable with no apparent loss of 
quality. Result! ;-)

I assume you mean editable as a line drawing (vector graphic). Try 
making a PDF, opening the PDF in CorelDRAW, then ungrouping it. You can 
also use one of the many free tools to convert the PDF to an EMF, which 
is also vector. However, I tried the latter method once and it did not 
go as good of a job as CorelDRAW.

Does anyone know of a method of extracting FrameMaker embedded graphics in a 
more or less editable form?
