<div><font size="2"><font face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif">This topic has been addressed several times the last few months. It can be done and fully on the template level through postscript textboxes on master pages, and it can be further automated by incorporating the use of Apply Master Pages so that content you want on A3 pages will always stay on A3 pages and likewise with the A4 pages.</font></font></div>

<br>I'm looking for that proverbial magic bullet whereby I can distill FrameMaker<br>pages of<br>different sizes without chopping them down to size.<br><br>First, the system:<br><br>Frame 9 unstructured<br>Acrobat 9 Pro<br>
Windows XP SP3<br><br>Next, The setup:<br><br>A FrameMaker book, including 13 chapters, 7 appendices, and several key<br>indices.<br>Mostly a 8.5 X 11 inch with about 6 pages embedded with 8.5 X 14.<br><br>After using every setting in Distiller, all pages are distilled into 8.5 X<br>
11, literally<br>"chopping" off the tops and bottoms of the 8.5 X 14 pages.<br><br>I've done this before and didn't change any settings, so I'm thinking there<br>has to be a bug<br>somewhere either in Acrobat or due to a recent Windows SP3 upgrade.<br>
<br>If there are any suggestions, please let me know.<br><br>All the best, standing tall, sword and shield....<br><br>Eduardo<br><br>_______________________________________________<br><br><br>You are currently subscribed to framers as <a href="mailto:hleusink@sdl.com">hleusink@sdl.com</a>.<br>
