Print book to PDF with 8 by 11 and 11 by 17 pages in same book?

Report · Dec 10, 2008

Hello,

I am using FrameMaker 8 (Structured Mode) and am trying to generate
a PDF with both 8 1/2 by 11 and 11 by 17 pages in the same book.

The 8 1/2 by 11 inch pages work good, but the 11 by 17 inch pages are generating as 11 by 8 1/2 (landscape view).

Is there an easy way to get my foldout drawings to come into my book (with the correct dimensions, when there are also 8 1/2 by 11 inch pages in the same book?

Thanks in advance.

Jim

James,

When you generate the book, you must select the largest sheet size
used in the book, i.e. 11x17. FM then outputs the all of the pages
centred on this sheet and if using SaveAsPDF (or enabling Generate
Acrobat Data when printing), will automatically crop the pages to the
appropriate size(s).

Arnis,

Thanks for the information. I will give it a try.
