The problem with PDF is that NO program that I know of is 100% perfect for exporting PDF into some other format. Even Adobe Acrobat has it's share of glitches. The best thing to do is find some program to export in some format such as HTML to keep the attributes and then load into BD. If you export to plain text, convert that to RTF and then load it. Now, when you've loaded it, the only way to make sure you've got it right is to compare what you have loaded with the actual PDF. I know it's a psin, but it has to be done if you want a proper conversion.
