FrameMaker Book to PDF Creation

A long time FrameMaker can create a PDF with different page sizes.

 

Note:
1. Little different in every release (and build - remember FM 10.x on
Win7 64-bit!)

2. Every change of page size must go along with a new file in a book.

3. Easy to keep in mind is following steps (in every FrameMaker release
- hopefully)

    Print the book with Adobe PDF Printer as .ps:

  + change the max of page size to the max of your page 
     (important: the ps-file get the information of the page size and
FrameMaker and Adobe PDF driver are artful

  + Print in file as .ps

     (Every fm-page size get his same ps-page size) 

  + then it's easy to open the ps-file with the Distiller - and the
right pdf is ready

Hi Carmelo,

I've done this by using the Adobe PDF printer and saving the file as a
.ps (postscript file), opening it using Distiller, and saving the PDF.
You should have no problem, but if you do I have instructions written in
full to guide you through this process.

Cheers,

Deb
