Tried this; what happens to the hyperlinking is as follows.
1) Bookmarks for the other documents in the book do nothing.
2) Automatically-generated TOC hyperlinks for the other documents open the
other document to page 1 -- they don't go to the page the topic appears on.
That's better than nothing, though.

I can generate a TOC on the other documents in the book and put it on the
pasteboard just barely touching a page, and thus generate bookmarks in the
PDF. Tolerable.

I'm looking into Leonard's suggestion of using PDF Enhancer. Had to modify
the web settings for 150 dpi images instead of 72... some of the images have
text in them and it was unreadable at 72. Thus, it doesn't reduce the file
size that much.

The chapters are as long as they are; I have no control over that.

DjVu has been suggested in a private e-mail, but LizardTech's prices are
still too high for this struggling small airline.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm still working on this, so if anyone
thinks of further suggestions, send 'em on.
