How do I create a PDF with FrameMaker 10 where the page is 12 inches wide and the length is 35 inches. I have Adobe Acrobat X version 10.1.3.

Thank you.

Change the Page Size.

Is this what you're after?

Well, we don't know what O.S. this is, but my recollection for Win2K, and perhaps XP, is that odd page sizes required gettting into Control Panel > Printers > [some menu item I don't recall] > Server Properties. I am unable to locate a similar menu for Win7.

Even with a custom page size in Server Props, I have found on XP that the new size is not necessarily populated in all size menus in all apps. I've had to resort to the heck of using the next larger pre-defined size, then restricting the origin and print region of my pages, to keep the output on paper.
