Get the report images as above, import the images and other required data (the key fields you mention) into a new FMP6 database (which will presumably be simpler than the whole system) and convert that to FMP12. From FMP12 you can easily export the report images with a suitable file name. By this method, you end up with a nice copy of FMP12 to play with. (You'll need it anyway, because the lovely commercial program you are being forced to use is sure to be short of a few screws...)

Of course, you could just get a copy of FMP12, convert your whole database, and save a copy of each record as a pdf, with a suitable filename...

In the end, I think that's the course of action I'd recommend (unless the database is rather complex and might have serious conversion problems).
