You could try creating two separate templates (in FM files that are separate
from the book and separate from each other). One template file is 8.5 x 11, and
the other is A4. Both can contain all other attributes (paragraph styles,
character styles, colour definitions, etc). Apply the first template when you
want to create a PDF for the US market. Once that's complete, apply the second
template to the book to create the PDF for the European market.
Alternatively, you could use a processor that ignores your FM settings (that
is, you would set up all your formatting in the processor), and then generate
two different outputs.
