The document I gave the example for is a memoir currently in the process of publication. When the "Books Manager" with the publisher talked about scraping my text from my 340 page PDF file, in order to reformat to follow their style, it set off all kinds of alarm bells when I thought of what they would do with over a hundred figures, a six page glossary, an 18 page index, and hundreds of cross-references. So I offered to prepare a final PDF to their detailed specifications. The trickiest part was getting the page headings exactly as they wanted them. This would not be possible with KOMA-script (which I have used extensively, and still do use a lot). I hope by doing it this way, the publisher will not only get it "right", but will get it on sale faster, and at lower cost. If the publisher's costs are lower, they can sell at a lower price, which will increase the number of sales and (hopefully) increase my royalties.
