And, as always in this regard, I should note that YMMV. ☺ For me, the “Save As PDF” was the option that worked better for many of the older releases of FrameMaker – just had to play with the pop-up box options for each new release that came out.
In FM12, both Print to Adobe PDF printer, and Save as PDF have given me essentially similar PDF files output (with only one issue – the bug in the CMYK selection). But not identical files … I haven’t bothered to look to see why not.

I never have in 20 years (has it EVER worked?), I never do so now (for my remaining time in FM), and I probably never will (being on my way out of the Adobe ecosystem permanently). If it works one way, why use another? Heck, print to PS is BETTER for workflow, if you can avail yourself of watched folders and scripted file transfer tasks (cron/Task Manager). David -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Book Save-As PDF w/ multiple page sizes From: "Charles Richardson" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Mon, June 08, 2015 10:36 am To: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Unable to find answer in FM docs. How does one configure FM to do Save-As PDF with the correct output page sizes (e.g., book with mixed letter/tabloid pages) in PDF? This is not a problem if a book print setup is set to tabloid and printed to .ps then distilled; the output reflects the original page sizes. With Save-As, if the page size is set to tabloid, all the pages in the output will be tabloid. I can get only one size or the other.
