Glad to facilitate. There is no whole document pdf link that I could find.
I figure they just supplied the output files from TeX. The next step for
the publisher doesn't require a concatenated pdf. I used gs to concatenate.
INPUT="f000[2-7]00_*.pdf c*_*.pdf r*_*.pdf c005600_*.pdf"
gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress
> -sOutputFile=art-of-abduction.pdf ${INPUT}
Do you know how to concatenate the book parts and get functioning
hyperlinks?
