This may get you further:

===========================
\version "2.17.10"

makePDF =
#(define-void-function (parser location music pdf-filename) (ly:music? string?)
  (let ((book #{
    \book
    {
      \bookOutputName $pdf-filename
      \score
      {
        \new Staff { $music }
      }
    } #}))
    (print-book-with-defaults parser book)))

\makePDF \relative c' {c4 d e f} "one"
\makePDF \relative c' {f4 e d c} "two"
===========================

This generates two files: 'one.pdf' and 'two.pdf'.
