Distilling Mixed Sizes

[Herbert Leusink]

Hello Eduardo,

We've faced a similar problem with mixed A3/A4 pages. FM will use the page
size of the chapter from which you start printing for all the following
pages. Two ways to do this: 
- save the book chapter by chapter to PDF and glue the chapters together in
Acrobat.
- save the book to PDF, save the chapter(s) with the larger size pages
separately to PDF, remove the chopped pages from the PDF and replace them
with large separately saved chapters.

But if anyone knows of a better method, please share it.

Best regards,

Live from New York!

Good afternoon fellow Frame Templars and Acrobats

I'm looking for that proverbial magic bullet whereby I can distill FrameMaker
pages of 
different sizes without chopping them down to size.

First, the system:

Frame 9 unstructured
Acrobat 9 Pro
Windows XP SP3

Next, The setup:

A FrameMaker book, including 13 chapters, 7 appendices, and several key
indices.
Mostly a 8.5 X 11 inch with about 6 pages embedded with 8.5 X 14.

After using every setting in Distiller, all pages are distilled into 8.5 X
11, literally 
"chopping" off the tops and bottoms of the 8.5 X 14 pages.

I've done this before and didn't change any settings, so I'm thinking there
has to be a bug 
somewhere either in Acrobat or due to a recent Windows SP3 upgrade.

If there are any suggestions, please let me know.

All the best, standing tall, sword and shield....

Eduardo
