Issues converting a Flare PDF to Word

Post by ktbCA57 »

We have a requirement that our Flare docs must go into the document management system as Word documents. However, we have to output to PDF for distribution - and output directly from Flare to Word isn't really great. So it's been decided that once the PDF is created, it then has to be converted to a Word doc. However, this process isn't great either.

Anyone had this experience - and are there common issues you are seeing? My response to my fellow writer was to make a note of the most common issues and do what she can to fix those in Flare before converting to PDF (e.g., the numbered callouts in her images were mangled - her images were saved as .eps, but when saved as .png, that eliminated the call out problem).

Thanks for any input. We are on Flare 2022.r2, Windows 10.
