Subject: [Contact Us] Splitting a book in multiple sla files

Hi,
I'm presently writing a 300 pages book using Scribus, containing some 160  
illustrations.
I'm now at page 100 and I realize that launching Scribus takes almost 4  
minutes on a last generation computer. So I thought of splitting my book in  
one sla file per chapter.
I'll have to send a complete PDF file to the printing press and I was  
wondering how I could join all the different PDF files in one single file.  
Does Scribus allow that, or does Scribus allow to export incrementally  
(adding the exported content to an existing PDF file) ? I have unfortunately  
no budget to buy a Adobe Distiller licence. So, do you have an idea how I  
could generate a signe PDF X3 file from multiple SLA files ?
Thank you very much in advance, and thank you for this great tool.
