I'm trying to publish a technical manual. Currently it's about 500 pages. I'm using Microsoft Publisher, but because of the size I have to break it into 7 different files, all of which are huge Mb-wise (20Mb each) and slow my computer down. And are a pain to try and print and match page numbers. I've tried using Microsoft Word, but it screws up the formatting badly and it's difficult to work with for what I need. I've tried Adobe Acrobat, but it seems highly unintuitive. And I need to be able to edit this later.
It seems to me there should be a simpler way of doing this.
What kind of program do the professionals use?
At the moment I have the equipment to do small runs (like 5 manuals at a time, and I'm not expecting to need much more.) But if I need to, what would a publishing company expect the file format to be in?
