Hi Tom

Have you tried importing the page settings from chapter 9 into chapters 2-8?

Cheers
Rebecca

Esteemed colleagues,

I am running FrameMaker 10 and Adobe Distiller 11 on WIN 7 Professional. I have 
a simple manual with a Title Page, a TOC, and 11 chapters. The manual is in A4 
size. I have created, and use, Distiller job options for the A4 page size.

When I make a PDF ( using  Save as PDF), the Title page, the TOC, and Chapters 
1, 9 10, and 11 all format correctly. Chapters 2-8, however, format with the 
top of the page trimmed off (the page size reverts to 8.5 X 11). The same thing 
happens if I Print the manual to a postscript file and run the Distiller 
against that file.

I should say that using the same Distiller settings against another A4 manual, 
the results are completely correct. No shorter pages in the PDF.

Has anyone faced this problem? I have not seen it before, and I have made PDFs 
from many A4 size manuals. It looks as though starting with Chapter 2 the page 
size is changed in the Distiller to 8.5 X 11 and then changed back to A4 
starting with Chapter 9. Is there something that I have inadvertently done in 
those chapters that is causing this Distiller behavior? To my knowledge I have 
done nothing different in FrameMaker than I have done before in creating a 
manual (nothing I am aware of, at any rate).

I came here rather than going to the Adobe forums, which are byzantine in 
access and glacial in pace. Thanks is advance for any help you can give.

Tom
