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!
