>...what you are asking is not much different than trying to scan a printed document into Word or Frame. <<   

As a further note, you can (assuming you have the full Acrobat application) export a PDF file as a multipage TIF and then run it through an OCR package. Depending on the particular document and what OCR resources you have available, that may give you a better result than exporting from PDF directly to RTF. Either way, though, you'll have to reformat the document in Frame or <shudder> Word, as Gordon noted.
