The issue is not a single PDF versus separate PDFs for each chapter. The issue is separate FrameMaker files for each chapter. With separate chapters managed in a FrameMaker book, you still create a single PDF for your output.

Then everything can be cross-referenced. You can have cross-PDF links, but they're more problematic. As a user, I always find it frustrating when large documents are split up. How big is the file if you generate one big PDF for the book? On Mon, Nov 7, 2016 at 10:46 AM, Lin Sims <ljsims...@gmail.com> wrote: > Pretty much what it says in the title.
