Not quite correct. It is true that each page of a multi-page PDF must be
imported separately, but the original file does not have to be broken into
single-page PDF files to do this. If you tell FrameMaker to import a PDF that
has multiple pages, you are presented with a dialog that displays a miniature
of the selected page of the PDF and provides you with both a number box and a
slider bar for you to use to select the particular page you want to import.
And I have to believe that one can programmatically step through the pages in
an arbitray multi-page PDF via FrameScript or the FDK (although I have never
looked into this in the slightest).
