I am using instructions in the FAQ for making a PDF file.  

Here is part of the instructions: 

-------------- 

Case 2: FrameMaker 6 and the Bundled Acrobat 4.05 Distiller  

Windows -- Create a new printer driver instance using the latest version of the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer, downloadable from Adobe's web site AND the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subdirectory of the Distiller directory). This driver instance should be set to print to the local port named "FILE:". Name this driver instance as "Acrobat Distiller". The default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. Print directly to this Acrobat Distiller printer instance. Make sure that the "print to file" option is checked. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).  

---------------- 

When I use FM 6 "Print Book" to the Distiller instance, it asks for a filename. Wjen I give it one, it processes what seems to be the first file in the book and then asks for a Print to File filename and location for the next file in my book. 

In the past it did not keep asking for filenames. Something has changed but I cannot find what it is? 

Any ideas on what might be causing this?
