Because the file size for a sizeable book gets unwieldy (for example,
my own book of nearly 300 pages), it normally requires that you break the project down into separate files ("booklets," or chapters), as you have done.

Here's how to accomplish what you're asking about in Pagemaker (at least in version 6.5): Compile all those separate files as one unit, or file, using the Book feature (under the Utilities > Book sub-menu). Basically you just name the files to be included in the book, and the sequence in which they appear.

Be forewarned that in some Pagemaker versions there is a software bug that causes an error with hyperlinks.

It can be fixed by downloading a software patch from the Adobe site. It also required some extensive searching through their online help files to locate info on fixing the problem.

If you are already following the above advice to use the Book feature and your hyperlinks aren't working -- or you come up with an error when trying to use Distiller -- you likely need the bug patch fix. Search through Adobe's site (online help files) using terms such as Pagemaker, Distiller, hyperlinks, and the specific wording of any error messages. (Persistence was required, but the finished product was worth it.)
