Help with PDF problem and 11x17 page size

[Phil Heron]

Carla,

I think you should be able to create a PDF document containing a mixture
of page sizes.

I tried this and it worked first time:

- Create three Frame files, one portrait, one landscape and one a custom
size.
- Create a Frame book containing the three files.
- Print the book to a file, using the Adobe PDF printer and ticking the
"Generate Acrobat Data" box.
- Open the generated PS file with Acrobat Distiller.

Success! A PDF file is created contining a combination of page sizes.

In short:
Make sure you are printing to the Adobe PDF printer.
Make sure you set "Generate Acrobat Data"

Hope this helps,

Subject: Help with PDF problem and 11x17 page size

I'm new so please be kind. I work in Frame 7.1b023 with no plug-ins.

 

I have a book file that incorporates multiple 8-1/2 x 11 page size
files, multiple 11 x 17 page size files with cross references within
files and from file to file, stand alone TOCs, LOFs, and LOTs that are
generated and then copied and pasted into the front of the files. The
book is then PDF'd with create hyperlinks turned on.

 

The PDF works great and all the cross references for the TOC, LOF, LOT,
from Frame work in the PDF.

 

The problem is that the 11 x 17 pages (which are figures) end up on
8-1/2 x
11 pages in the book PDF. What I have been doing is going into each of
the
11 x 17 files (9 total), and saving each as a stand-alone 11 x 17 PDF.
Then I exchange each new 11 x 17 PDF for the old 8-1/2 x 11 page in the
book PDF file. This works for getting the correct page size, but the
link from the LOF (which is not on the 11 x 17 page) does not work.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make the links work to the 11 x
17 pages?

 

Thanks
