Tom,

Sounds like you wanted Adobe Framemaker, not Acrobat. I love Acrobat and use it almost daily, but it isn't the full-fledged document management and creation system that Framemaker is. If you convert all your separate docs to PDF and use "Insert Page," it does exactly what you want.

I'm rather annoyed at Adobe for the new so-called versions of Acrobat. I see nothing in the "Professional" version that warrants the $450 price tag! And "Standard" doesn't appear to be any different from the old version of Acrobat. Acrobat "Elements" might be useful, but no thanks, like Distiller Server I don't need 1000 licenses.
