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 11. I do get that panel, but when I change the page size to 8.5 x 14, all pages use that size (no cropping).

Something's not right. Try this route then:

1. Use the Print Book option and have the AdobePDF printer instance selected, turn off the the Print to File, enable the "Generate Acrobat Data" option.

2. Click the PDF Setup button to ensure that the Page size is set to the largest (as in the previous message),

3. Then click the Setup... button to configure the printer for the largest size required.

4. Then click the OK button to get back to the Print Book and finally click Print.

5. You should be prompted where to place the file (unless you left the default configuration which may place it on your desktop).

This should have all the pages correctly cropped as in the following sample with Letter, Legal and Tabloid all in one book:
