Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes

[tom.beiswenger at emhartglass.com]

The only time that I use Save as PDF is when I am embedding video clips in 
the FM document. If you print to pdf, you get a flat pdf. The referenced 
video clips are not actually embedded in the pdf unless you "save as pdf".

And, as always in this regard, I should note that YMMV. J
 
For me, the ?Save As PDF? was the option that worked better for many of 
the older releases of FrameMaker ? just had to play with the pop-up box 
options for each new release that came out.
 
In FM12, both Print to Adobe PDF printer, and Save as PDF have given me 
essentially similar PDF files output (with only one issue ? the bug in the 
CMYK selection). But not identical files ? I haven?t bothered to look to 
see why not.

At the risk of seeming blunt: Don't use Save As PDF.
 
I never have in 20 years (has it EVER worked?), I never do so now (for my 
remaining time in FM), and I probably never will (being on my way out of 
the Adobe ecosystem permanently).
 
If it works one way, why use another? Heck, print to PS is BETTER for 
workflow, if you can avail yourself of watched folders and scripted file 
transfer tasks (cron/Task Manager).

Unable to find answer in FM docs.  How does one configure FM to do Save-As 
PDF with the correct output page sizes (e.g., book with mixed 
letter/tabloid pages) in PDF?  This is not a problem if a book print setup 
is set to tabloid and printed to .ps then distilled; the output reflects 
the original page sizes.  With Save-As, if the page size is set to 
tabloid, all the pages in the output will be tabloid.  I can get only one 
size or the other.

Thanks for your help!
