converting Frame to Word

[Eason, David]

That is a good question, and I wanted to know the answer myself, so I
called the vendor's customer support and asked.

 

The answer is, "no, it won't convert a password-protected pdf.

Will PDF converter work if the originator of the PDF put security on it?

 

 

 

Thank you,

I tried that program one time, and it worked very well. However, it is

one-dimensional. My program of choice is PDF Converter. It not only

converts both ways, pdf to Word and Word, but to Excel also. And the

professional version is way more versatile. The Web site is

Yvonne asked:

 

 

 

"I was recently asked to convert our FrameMaker template into a MS Word 

 

 

 

template. Yes, I know this is backwards (and we all know the benefits of

 

 

 

Frame over Word)."

 

 

 

Yvonne, I was recently faced with the very same situation. Like you, I

 

understand that telling other departments "just to go out and purchase

 

Framemaker" may not be a workable option.

 

 

 

Thus, after trying several different workarounds, we hit upon one that

 

worked quite well: I first used FrameMaker to create a PDF. Then, I used

 

a program called "PDF to Word" which is manufactured by a company called

 

Very PDF. (http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2word/index.html).

 

 

 

This program took my PDF and created a Microsoft Word document much

 

smaller than my previous attempts. And at $39.95, this is a much cheaper

 

solution than telling others to buy another copy of FM!

 

 

 

(And no, I don't work for "Very PDF". I'm hyping their product free of

 

charge! :)
