Automating the import of multi-page PDFs

[Art Campbell]

Unless there's a gotcha that you didn't mention, the easiest route would be
to SaveAs in Acrobat (or any of several third-party programs) to create an
RTF file. Then open the RTF files in Frame, wash out any hidden characters
by saving as MIF and reopening those files, and then apply the FM look-alike
template and go on...

Although you may be able to open the original Word Perfect files in Frame,
that import filter isn't as robust, in my opinion.
