I believe that the high price is mainly determined by the richness of the biomedical class. Did you see how much it costs downloading the pdpdff a bibionmedicalublication? At any event, doc management by the editors must also have a weight. Right today I have prpracticedrostitution in accepting the terms for submitting a chemical paper to one of the biggest scientific publishers. Did not accept pdpdfdid not accept epepsdid not accept ododtonly doc for text and I don't remember what for graphics. Therefore, I embedded graphics into text, exported as doc, exported doc as pdpdfjust to be sure that the editor is able to convert to pdpdf Checked that everything is in order with my files. I'll see later - I towondered how to do with graphics if the paper is accepted. Well, the pdpdfhat the editor created from my doc file had various major bugs in dealing with graphics. Told that. He asked me to edit. Edit what? Edit my doc files! Well, I replaced the covering letter to the territorial scientific editor with a new one telling that, given the software of his house, I can't do better. Should he be unable to deal with my paper, I can't do anything else than looking for another publisher. If you are curious about the fate of my paper, I'll tell about that.
