It may work - my advice is just be very wary with a new conversion path at first - I've been a couple of hundred pages into a text that I have heavily annotated when it blows up

Great advice. I tried the PDFExpert converter, and it seemed to work smoothly. But I'll have to see what happens with annotations...

In such a case, I imagine that other methods, such as through ghostscript or pandoc, might also carry the same warning.

In this regard, I imagine that the recommended workflow should be convert first, then annotate.
