SOLVED: Dissimilar Page Sizes - FM 7.0 - Structured to PDFs

[Art Campbell]

The "why" is likely a slight difference in the job settings in use
when you run Distiller and print from FM. For instance, in the Acrobat
job settings, there's a checkbox that allows the settings (page size,
for example) in the PS file to override Acrobat settings. Unchecked, I
think it would impose the default Acrobat page size.

It's likely to be a small thing like that, something that's easy to overlook.
