This could be a combination of two issues: 1. I seem to remember FrameMaker sometimes has trouble creating a PDF when a book contains a mix of landscape and portrait pages. The resulting PDF will contain only one page orientation, the landscape pages will be rotated. The solution was to create a .ps file, then drop this on Distiller. 2. After you import master pages into a book, you have to apply them. If you have set up a Master Page Mapping Table, you can do this automatically. Harro de Jong Triview
