Question I work in Word and PDF files, converting everything into a PDF for final output. Adobe Professional has been giving me a lot of problems, and I am looking into Framemaker as a solution. I read that Framemaker treats PDF files as a graphic and you can only import one page at a time. Is there any way around this? I often have to import over 200 pages of PDF files in one document. Is there any other software that might work better?

What I would do is Save your document from Word as a pdf - then open that pdf document and import the pdf document with the "over 200 pages" into that document.
You can also do it the other way - open the 200 page document and then select where you want to insert the "Word" or "Framemaker" pdf document.
I only have Framemaker 7 - and it will only import 1 pdf page at a time from a file.
Framemaker 7 - does treat the pdf as a "graphic," can only import 1 page at a time.
