Use runfm instead of Automap; it uses Frame to generate the PDFs from the command line, and they are exactly the same as the ones produced using the Frame GUI. It's free, part of the Mif2Go demo version: http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm Documentation is in User's Guide Chapter 34, "Converting via runfm". The HTML Help version of the User's Guide is included in the main download. About a dozen other versions, including PDF and OmniHelp, are available farther down on the same page. HTH! -- Jeremy H.
