Hi Christiane, There is an undocumented way of doing it in FrameMaker 2019, but I am not positive if it made it into the release version. The idea is to create your document with a page size large enough to accommodate all the required page sizes in the document. So, to put it in US sizes, if your document is mainly 8-1/2 x 11 inches but you have some "foldout" pages that are 17 x 11 inches, then you create a 17 x 11 document. Your default master pages are set up so that the 8-1/2 x 11 content area is to the left side of the page and the extra 8-1/2 x 11 is on the right side of the page. Your foldout master pages use the whole 17 x 11 area.
Your 8-1/2 x 11 master pages are "marked" with a hidden UserString property that indicates that these pages should be cropped when the PDF is created. So your PDF will have a mix of 8-1/2 x 11 and 17 x 11 pages. When I tested this, I used ExtendScript to automate the "marking" of the pages so that the user didn't have to worry about it. Again, I am not sure if this feature made it into the release version, but I can give it a try when I get a chance. If there is general interest in this, I can demonstrate it in one of my "anti-webinars".

We may need to include diagrams etc. in A3 format in one of our A4 FM books. It would be a pain to have to create a separate file in the middle of a chapter to accommodate the A3 page. Isn't it possible to have A3 and A4 Master pages in the same document?
