I'm not sure which part of that process requires Acrobat. Is it the part where you take multiple pages and re-assemble them into a single document?

But recent versions of Word can both import and export PDF files, correct? Sounds like you could do all the assembly work in Word and save it as a single 10+ page PDF file directly from Word, without having to touch Acrobat.

I'm only suggesting this because you said you had a problem with Acrobat, and so I'm wondering if ditching Acrobat entirely is feasible.
