I am using framemaker 7.0. I am trying to create a pdf  in acrobat 7.0 that is 11x17. I cannot create any pdf that is larger than 8.5x11. If I select Print to microsoft pdf I get pages are larger than the printer paper.

And one has never been able to open FrameMaker documents in Acrobat. The only application that can open FrameMaker (.fm) documents is FrameMaker itself!

Moving to FrameMaker forum since this topic is much more relevant there!
