I've looked into outsourcing the work to offshore companies like Innodata, Cadmus, Apex Covantage, Aptara, etc. Anyone ever work with any of them? Any recommendations? These titles are somewhat complex (many have tables, images, odd characters, etc.), and the output needs to be functionally and asthetically professional. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks everyone.
One thing you should do is get your company to store any new titles in a better format for conversion. It's probably too late for the titles you already have, but PDF is NOT a source format.
