every chapter a PDF?

One of the tricks that Webworks has is the ability to embed a PDF of each "chapter" automatically into the web help it builds. For example:

Code: Select all

+----> Chapter 1    (PDF containing these topics included in the horizontal menu of web help placed here)
|            Topic A
|            Topic B
|            Topic C
+----->    Topic D

It's really quite clever because at the very top level the complete PDF is in the first topic (usually some intro topic or splash screen in our case). I've always thought this would be a great idea for Flare too, The topic of adding a PDF to the help system reminded me that I had never figured out any way to automatically make this work... and maybe there isn't a way. However on the off-chance that maybe somebody has figured out a way to script this, I thought I would ask. So, has anybody ever wanted to do this, or even better, has anybody figured out a way to do this (hopefully automatically).
