I read with interest your feature concerning publishing an e-book. Your readers might be interested to know there is an alternative to using Acrobat for this [producing pdf documents]. I have been using pdf factory and I recommend it for home users -- available from
http://www.fineprint.com/software/pdffactory/standard/
It acts as a printer driver, so you can output from any software you have -- it also will accumulate any number of print jobs, until you compile the pdf file you want to present.
