Yes, no problem, especially not if you produce a single PDF file
from the book.

Tables?

Never heard of Adobe Tables, what software is that? You are probably
much better off recreating those tables in FM. Why do you need to use
another software, when FM supports tables on its own?

I guess so, using OLE linking (on Windows), provided the other application
supports OLE. One caution: OLE is notoriously unreliable.
