FYI I tried to do the same thing with Adobe Illustrator assuming that PDF editing would work better with Adobe. Unfortunately it didn't detect the fonts correctly and failed to resolve them. It then formatted the document incorrectly to boot.

I personally prefer Sketch so I'm fine with it. It's WAY better IMHO and cheaper. The one drawback is the lack of CMYK support but I think I can use Ghostscript for the conversion if I want to. I will probably go with a black and white book anyway which means CMYK doesn't really matter.

I'd still like to know what tools are used by professional publishing to do this as I doubt they use this approach...
