Without knowing what you've tried, it's hard to give other than
generic suggestions, since I haven't tried to do what you are
doing.

I have a fair amount of experience using the MacLinkPlus
package helping faculty do cross-platform translation.  It has
been a pretty good workhorse for journal article translation
kind of things, but I haven't noticed footnotes one way or the
other.  If worse comes to worst, try calling MacConnection
(1-800-800-2222) to get the number for DataViz, makers of
MacLinkPlus, and give them a call directly.  They may know the
answer you are looking for.
