Hello Thomas,
most of our PDF files are produced with visible printer marks (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 9 Pro, Win XP). In some cases, pages will be trimmed irregularly like you mention it. So when checking the PDF file I always set this back to zero for all pages just to be sure. I have no idea at the moment why this happens, but until now I could still handle it. Of course it would be embarassing if hundreds of files were affected or if the output was produced without any possibility for manual correction. It would be great to find out more about this ... Best regards - Tino H. Haida Thomas Scalise: > 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.

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.
