That's how I am controlling workflow for the 320 page book I am publishing now, using all open source software including Scribus. The PDFs that go to the print shop are at 300 dpi, and take quite a few minutes per chapter to generate. The 72 dpi ones for emailing to co-workers for editing and for posting on the web for PDF download generate very quickly, with no issues except for resolution (photos and CAD a bit blurry at only 72dpi, etc). AND, when I recieve annotated PDFs back from my co-author, there's no chance of confusing them, even he messes up the filemane for versioning -- if I see 72 dpi, I know it's an edit and not a final.
