[OT] Any PDF Experts Out There in RevLand?

[Dan Shafer]

I have a friend who's the production VP for a book publisher that  
does a lot of eBook stuff. He tells me this is only possible on OS X  
with Adobe inDesign ($700 SRP) and even then there's a bug in  
inDesign that means that once you've auto-generated the TOC and  
bookmarks you have to review them all and tweak some or many of them.

David, I'm going to contact you off-list about your project when I  
get this current issue solved.
