The only thing you're doing wrong is assuming that PDF is some kind of 
editable exchange format. PDF is the end product of any program that can 
print, displaying or printing just about anything that can be 
represented on paper in two dimensions, not intended to be edited or 
otherwise taken apart. Your PDF doesn't know it was made in Framemaker, 
doesn't know anything about Frame tags, doesn't even really know what 
order the text flowed in back when it was Frame text.

Because you have a PDF, you may not have to retype the document. If you 
have Acrobat Pro, you can figure out *some* of the specs that were used 
to create it. Beyond that, your PDF isn't going to do you much good.
