This approach did not work for me unfortunately when I was converting a
FrameMaker documents to Word for one of our guys. (Same platform, versions,
etc.) The Acrobat output in Word form was barely usable ... I spent quite a
bit of time with manual edits.

I also tried to use PDF Converter (to bring the PDF into Word) and it
actually worked better for the text, but missed some critical items (I
forget what the problem was), so I ended up not using it.

For another project, I ended up using MIF2Go that I had purchased in the
interim, and it was _much_ better ... _far_ less manual fixing afterwards.
