What can we do to get these two programs to communicate with each other.

PDF is an output format. If you’re looking to convert the content to another application, you should be using the source files and not a PDF

Flare can import FrameMaker FM, MIF and BOOK files.

See here:

I do not know, whether this import works well or whether you have to adapt the imported content. And I do not know, whether you could round-trip.

Well, TIL! But I suspect that they haven't fine-tuned it to work with FM2019 yet.

AFAIK there's no communication between Flare & FM - you would have to go through some intermediate step like FM to PDF, PDF to Word doc, Word doc to Flare.
