I have a file created in framemaker that is 16"X20". I cannot figure out how to have acrobat distill to that size.I have changed the job options but cannot find how to choose that job option.

You need to create a custom page size for the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance. It is not a joboption issue. In the Printer Properties, go to Advanced and then Paper/Quality and then Advanced. Under Paper/Output - Paper Size, select PostScript Custom Page and then press Edit Custom Page Size. Enter the page dimensions, then OK all the way back. You can now print to that page size and Distiller will properly produce matching PDF.
