Thanks to everyone who replied to my e-mail and the phone call from Danny was great!
The following gives me exactly what I want: 1. With the Book file open, select "File > Print Book" 2. Check "Print to File" 3. Check "Generate Acrobat Data" 4. Click "PDF Setup..." and select the appropriate "Job Options" file 5. Click the Printer "Setup..." button 6. Select "Adobe PDF" as the printer 7. Set "Paper Size" to 11x17 8. Click "Print..." 9.

My Service Manuals are created on standard letter size paper in Portrait format. However, I have just added a series of one page files that are tabloid sized (11 X 17) in Landscape format. Unfortunately, when I use "Save as PDF" to turn the Book into a PDF, *all* the pages are letter-sized. However, if I create a PDF from one of the single tabloid-sized file, the PDF is tabloid-sized. I can't find anywhere under JobOption creation that will allow me to tell the PDF to create page sizes "as found", if you will. Nor can I find any options in the "Save as PDF" dialog box that allows me to do anything other than specify a single page size (I even tried leaving the page size blank but got the same results - all letter sized pages). I know this has to be possible, but I don't know how to get there from here. Any suggestions?
