Save FrameMaker Book as PDF - Files with different page sizes

I've created a book with 2 files - the pages in the first file are 8.5 x 11, the pages in the second file are 8.5 x 14.

How can I save the book as a PDF but keep both page sizes? Right now if I change the page size in the PDF settings dialog, it changes all pages.

Thanks.

    When you create the PDF (assuming SaveAsPDF), select the largest size in the Page Size line of the PDF Setup in FM. Distiller will add a crop for the smaller pages so that they display at the correct page size.

    Is there anything that can be done if I don't have Distiller?

    FM comes with a dumbed-down version of Distiller called PDFcreator and is installed by default. You should have an AdobePDF printer instance created and use the SaveAsPDF routee from FM to get the PDF Setup panel that I showed. Which version of FM are you using?
