You should also be aware of the implications for inter-book cross-references when you distill to separate PDFs. If you have other files that refer to x-ref sources in your book, they may not work as expected (or at all), depending on how you distill the referring file. If the source book is open when you distill the referring file, the resulting PDF hyperlinks will point to book.pdf. If the source book is closed when you distill the referring file, the resulting PDF hyperlinks will point to Chn.pdf. Since you are producing both single book.pdf and multiple Chn.pdf files from the book, the cross-references should work in either case (unless you mess around with the paths). But you (or your users) may be expecting the book.pdf file to open and instead get only the Chn.pdf file, or vice versa. Furthermore, if you have a complicated directory structure, x-refs within a book are handled differently when you distill to separate files: the hyperlink includes path information when the referring and source files are in different directories, so your separate Chn.pdf deliverables must be located in a similar directory structure or the hyperlinks between them will fail.
