I have done this for years with various Frame books which have maybe a
dozen A4 files and one A3 file. I always select the larger page size
(A3 landscape in this case), print to PS file, then distil to PDF. All
pages come out the right size and orientation.
I've just done some tests with one of my manuals that has a mixture of
A4 and A3 pages. I've found that I have to have Generate Acrobat Data
turned on (box is checked) for the two different page sizes to reproduce
correctly in the PDF. If I deselect this function, all pages are A3 in
the PDF (although in the correct orientation).
This is on Frame 8, Acrobat 7 and Win XP.
Cheers
Dave

I think the easiest way to go is just to pick the largest page size in
Acrobat when you distill and let the whole book go.
Reader automatically resizes so that the page zoom fills the available
window real estate.

This topic has been addressed several times the last few months. It can be
done and fully on the template level through postscript textboxes on master
pages, and it can be further automated by incorporating the use of Apply
Master Pages so that content you want on A3 pages will always stay on A3
pages and likewise with the A4 pages.
This method is too much bother for most, who opt to produce separate PDFs
and cobble them together through post-processing efforts.

Hello Eduardo,
We've faced a similar problem with mixed A3/A4 pages. FM will use the page
size of the chapter from which you start printing for all the following
pages. Two ways to do this:
- save the book chapter by chapter to PDF and glue the chapters together
in
Acrobat.
- save the book to PDF, save the chapter(s) with the larger size pages
separately to PDF, remove the chopped pages from the PDF and replace them
with large separately saved chapters.
But if anyone knows of a better method, please share it.

Subject: Distilling Mixed Sizes
Live from New York!
Good afternoon fellow Frame Templars and Acrobats
I'm looking for that proverbial magic bullet whereby I can distill
FrameMaker
pages of
different sizes without chopping them down to size.
First, the system:
Frame 9 unstructured
Acrobat 9 Pro
Windows XP SP3
Next, The setup:
A FrameMaker book, including 13 chapters, 7 appendices, and several key
indices.
Mostly a 8.5 X 11 inch with about 6 pages embedded with 8.5 X 14.
After using every setting in Distiller, all pages are distilled into 8.5 X
11, literally
"chopping" off the tops and bottoms of the 8.5 X 14 pages.
I've done this before and didn't change any settings, so I'm thinking
there
has to be a bug
somewhere either in Acrobat or due to a recent Windows SP3 upgrade.
If there are any suggestions, please let me know.
All the best, standing tall, sword and shield....
Eduardo
