Nope. Do you have DS MapBook running? (or the MapLogic Layout Manager)?
Another solution could be to write yourself a little script in vba for
example which does a loop through each of your points, changes the title
while keeping the extent and exports a pdf automatically. If you check
out arcscripts or other sources you should be able to find lots of
examples which do similar stuff.
Good luck,
Mark
