<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D">Esteemed colleagues,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D">I am running FrameMaker 10 and Adobe Distiller 11 on WIN 7 Professional. I have a simple manual with a Title Page, a TOC, and 11 chapters. The manual is in A4 size. I have created, and use, Distiller job options
for the A4 page size.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D">When I make a PDF ( using Save as PDF), the Title page, the TOC, and Chapters 1, 9 10, and 11 all format correctly. Chapters 2-8, however, format with the top of the page trimmed off (the page size reverts to
8.5 X 11). The same thing happens if I Print the manual to a postscript file and run the Distiller against that file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D">I should say that using the same Distiller settings against another A4 manual, the results are completely correct. No shorter pages in the PDF.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D">Has anyone faced this problem? I have not seen it before, and I have made PDFs from many A4 size manuals. It looks as though starting with Chapter 2 the page size is changed in the Distiller to 8.5 X 11 and then
changed back to A4 starting with Chapter 9. Is there something that I have inadvertently done in those chapters that is causing this Distiller behavior? To my knowledge I have done nothing different in FrameMaker than I have done before in creating a manual
(nothing I am aware of, at any rate).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0D0D0D">I came here rather than going to the Adobe forums, which are byzantine in access and glacial in pace. Thanks is advance for any help you can give.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
