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?

    Whether you have Acrobat installed or not is not the issue. FM by itself comes with a version of Distiller that will still allow you to create the PDFs.

    What exactly was the error that you got when trying to print from the Book. Right now, it appears that this is the only route that will work for you, so it might just be a setting or two that's tripping up FM.


    Internal Error 11004, 8122692, 8122986, 10866389. FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must quit.
