Incorporating external documents containing tables, into a book

[John Posada]

I cannot combine the PDFs as each external document goes to a different
chapter. I'd have to futz the page numbers 25 times. That's not the hard
part...I'd then have to manually edit the PDF output of the book to merge
into the deliverable....ya know...this might be a last-resort
option....create a place holder, then use Acrobat to replace pages.
hmm...let me think about this.
