I concur with Robert, unless you're facing other issue that you didn't mention in your post.
Have all the BOOK files open when you print to PDF; and esure that the resulting PDFs are located in the same relative file structure as the BOOK files. [If I were you, I'd put all BOOK files in one folder, for simplicity of access, regardless of where you let choose to locate your working FM-type and graphics files.]
Barring that, you could do something with Named Desitnations I reckon... but that's just a major pain: as you noted, you won't know the base location to make aboslute/hyperlink references in the FM files. But if it's your company's system to setup and install, it should be trivial just to make a docs folder on it somewhere and plop all your PDFs in that (and a shortcut to the 'master' document, perhaps, on the All Users Desktop). Done deal.

I've defined cross-references between FrameMaker files that worked
across generated PDFs, provided the PDFs were in the same positions
relative to each other in the directory structure (e.g. all in the
same directory) as the FrameMaker books were.
It used to be that all the files in all the books had to be open when
generating the PDFs for that to work, but it has been a few years
since I did that.
