I do a lot of Frame to DocuTech printing. I just print the FrameMaker Book
as PostScript (rather than the individual files) and give that to my
DocuTech bureaux on an MO disc - I've used two different local bureaux, one
of them a high street copy shop, with no problems at all, and it's all been
totally hassle-free.

I first sent the whole book as one file this to save the setup fee for each
file (with one big file not twenty little ones) but it worked fine. If your
version of Frame lets you print the book (by choosing Print when the Book
is the current document) as a whole you could try that: Frame 4 and 5 on
the Mac certainly do but I don't know about other platforms.
