Help with PDF problem and 11x17 page size

[Art Campbell]

OK, Carla, one two-part idea.

This is, admittedly, a kludge, but you may want to play with the idea....

The first part is when you .pdf the job, to specify that each file
prints as a discrete file rather than one large one.

Then print the letter size book. Then print a second copy of the book
to 11x17 page sizes (you can set the page size in the PDF settings).
So you'd end up with two books, one in each size.

Then I'd do the same thing you're doing now, swap the larger "figure"
files in AND also swap in the generated LOF from the large book, which
should contain all the links.

If you have to deliver the .pdf as a single file, you can use Acrobat
to cocatenate the files after they're all working.

Don't know if it'll work, but....
