You don't say what problems you had earlier using FM 5.x.
If you have your PDF creation workflow set up correctly,
the position in the book file of the front matter file,
the TOC file or any other file doesn't matter at all.

Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest AdobePS
print driver for your operating system, that your Acrobat
installation created a printer named "Acrobat Distiller"
(using the adist*.ppd file), that you use this printer when
creating your PDFs, and that you do not use "Save As PDF".

That should take care of 99% of all PDF creation problems.
