OK, I know it's Monday and almost holiday time but I have an upcoming project that I need to approach with the best ammunition I can muster. I have a 300-page manual that is heavy with line art. Trouble is, the only source file is in PDF. No Word, no FrameMaker. I need to convert this to FrameMaker. I have been to the Adobe Forums and received some suggestions for converting to Word but nothing for Frame. I also have Acrobat 6 which has a process for saving to Word. I am researching other programs that may be faster or less troublesome. What I DON'T want to do is re-type the whole document. In light of all this, I thought I would ask you fellow Techwrlers what software or methods you would suggest to tackle this job.
I don't know if I can compile all of your answers but I will try to supply a synopsis offline if you wish.

Well, then it sounds like you need a process for converting WORD documents to Frame....

Consulting the TECHWR-L archives, we find:

The google search

convert OR conversion "word to frame"

turned up those and more.
