Reuse embedded vector graphics

Question

I wan to reuse embedded vector graphics from FM documents in MS Office and OpenOffice.

I found the Linux tool mif2xfig which works only for MIF 4.0.

FrameMaker > Print to PDF > Import PDF in OpenOffice Draw -> Save selection as EPS

is my current procedure.

Any ideas?

What vector graphics formats do those apps support?

There have been at least 2 FrameScript or plug-in tools for exporting FM graphics discussed here over the years, but the only one for which I found a link, the link was stale.

For small numbers of such embeds, I normally open the PDF page in Illustrator, and delete all the page content except the image elements of interest. Save as EPS, PDF or SVG, depending on target app support for vector imports.

Acrobat Pro has the ability to export all images in a PDF, but as of 9.0, only to raster format. We have XI, but I haven't checked to see if that feature's been enhanced.
