Is it possible to export a FM file without including all of the conditional text?

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

Unfortunately, after some testing some months ago, I came to the conclusion that the Acrobat X PDF to Word (RTF) conversion is not good for anything for documents with things like tables, even in the latest versions of Acrobat.

I would recommend that it is *far* better to use some other tool. For example, I now use PDF Converter Pro 7 from Scansoft, for example, but even this is not perfect. You still end up having to massage the resulting Word file to fix broken things, but it is much better than Acrobat X!

What about printing a PDF with the conditions you want shown; then use Acrobat Pro X to turn the PDF into a Word doc?

I have a group of manuals where I use conditional text to keep track of the different variations.

My customer asked to have a word copy of one of the manuals. Is there a way to choose conditional text for the manual that I want which excludes all of the other conditional text in the final output? When exporting to an .rtf file, all of the information gets exported, even if I'm only showing the conditional text that I'm interested in. As a work around of last resort, I had to do a Show All and manually strip out everything I didn't want in the final version.

There must be a better way. I've been using v7.1, but on the trial version of 10 I noticed the same thing happening. Does any one have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
