Hi :) I tend to find importing as plain text and then applying styles saves me hours and hours. Before doing that people's mad formatting would drive me nuts.
I've managed to stop them sending me Pdfs too. Mostly it was the argument about "being consistent" through-out the newsletter but it also helped to respect people's aims rather than their results and the positive comments from readers didn't hurt. It depends how slavish you have to be. This answer (to stand up for yourself) may not help.
