[Sigia-l] multidoctype publishing: from Visio and Word: suggestions?

Hi all,

I'm working on a 100 page deliverable in Acrobat PDF
that includes Word doc, flows and wireframes in Visio
interspersed.

I want printed pagination so we bought the Impress
plugin.

We want a Table of Contents so I am building that in
Word.

As you can see, the process is a bit makeshift, but
seemingly the best way, but its not extremely robust
or easy for the documentor to make changes later.

Has anyone used another software that does the
following in a seamless way:
Combining different types of docs into one (Visio,
Word at least)
Easy printing of different sized pages (PDF does this
well.)
Automatic page numbering updates (that prints)
Build a Table of contents on the fly.
Allows updating within (or outside with easy importing
to automatically build the TOC and page numbering)

Or, does anyone know when Acrobat is going to be able
to fulfill the needs of basic document publishing? :)

Please respond to me and I will report back to the
group.

Thanks,
Rhonda
