Multiple Page Sizes in FM Files > PDF

[Pinkham, Jim]

Hi, Alison,

I have best luck with this when I print the book as individual files.
Then my letter-sized documents and tabloid-sized documents consistently
distill correctly for my chapters or sub-chapters. It's only a few more
moments to combine the files back into a single PDF using the Combine
command in Acrobat. 

HTH,
Jim

This may not be the right forum but I'll give it a try, with the caveat
that I am *not* an Acrobat expert - I created my original JobOptions via
MS Word and I create my PDF with "Save as PDF" (unlike others on this
list, I've never had any issues with my output using "Save as PDF").

My Service Manuals are created on standard letter size paper in Portrait
format. However, I have just added a series of one page files that are
tabloid sized (11 X 17) in Landscape format.

Unfortunately, when I use "Save as PDF" to turn the Book into a PDF,
*all* the pages are letter-sized. However, if I create a PDF from one of
the single tabloid-sized file, the PDF is tabloid-sized.

I can't find anywhere under JobOption creation that will allow me to
tell the PDF to create page sizes "as found", if you will. Nor can I
find any options in the "Save as PDF" dialog box that allows me to do
anything other than specify a single page size (I even tried leaving the
page size blank but got the same results - all letter sized pages).

I know this has to be possible, but I don't know how to get there from
here.

Any suggestions?

Alison
