Regarding the question from the OP, it would be SO nice to have a sample of the actual file, since none of us here is clairvoyant (I'm not, AFAIK  )

Well, we have his screenshots. But I'm still murky on the actual question, as apparently, are we all. I'm going to dl that and give it a try, and also the TransTools. You'd be appalled at how many files we get, in Word and word-equivalents that are rampant with broken paragraphs--some are actually typed that way (I s**t thee not) and many are of course, "save as..." from Acrobat, etc. If the trans tools works, or the Flexi, it would be
well worth it for us. I've never heard of either before today, so I thank you.
ETA: Uh, FlexiPDF exports every PAGE in a PDF, as a Word file? (update: figured out how to work around that.) No, thanks. I downloaded and tried the export...hopefully, I've missed something obvious, but who the hell would want that?
And--can't say I've ever seen THIS before, it puts a paragraph mark
BEFORE each paragraph,
in addition to after each paragraph. Kim, have you actually
used this? Honestly, at the moment, it seems that the native Adobe export would be far, far cleaner than this. Are you using this?
ETA2: and
every paragraph came out, in a TABLE? Oy,
run, do not walk, from that product. What a disaster! Maybe I'm a dimwit, and I used it wrongly, but so far, it's a bloody mess.
