You still haven't said what you use to create the PDF. However, I wouldn't
bother trying to set up the columns, pages size, etc in the authoring
environment because really all you are creating at that point is unformatted
XML. I would apply all the formatting using the whatever it is you use to
create the PDF. For example, if you're creating the PDF by going from DITA > FM
> PDF, I would create a template to apply to the FM files.
I have seen references to some plug-ins for FM that allow you to control the
defaults for anchored frames, but I've never used them.
They are:
ImpGraph by Bruce Foster (I'm not sure if this is still available as Mr. Foster
passed away recently).
ShrinkWrapAsIs.dll (http://martinek.us/shrinkwrap.html).
Let us know how you resolve your problem.
