Re: Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

Funny, one of the hot new features of InDesign CS5 was the ability to... you guessed it, add multiple page sizes to a singe document! Tori Muir tm...@spot-on-creative.com | 650.430.8674 www.spot-on-creative.com On 6/23/11 6:11 PM, Writer wrote:

Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

This is a question for a fellow tech writer who can be reached at karlmeinert at hotmail dot com if you want to talk to him directly. He is running Windows 7 with FM9 p230 (but will be updating his patches shortly). Karl says; Basically I want to have a graphic spanning a 2-page spread (left

Re: Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

Alison, Probably the easiest way would be to make a new 11x17 template page, not as part of the main book master pages, and just insert the 11x17 page as a component of the book, in the appropriate page relation to the main book. As long as you don't try and copy page layouts from a normal

Re: Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

I have FM 9, but never added 11x17 as a master page. When I used 7.2 I always made a file called Chapter 2 11x17 and created the master page for it. Once I have the file done than I add it to the book and set page numbers so the number correctly. All seems to work fine.

RE: Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

I can't think of any easy way to get FrameMaker to do this, because running a graphic through the gutter is typically a problematic thing to do. If you're delivering a PDF that anyone is ever going to turn into hard copies, they are probably going to lose some amount of the graphic because

RE: Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

I asked the same question recently and was told it can’t be done – changing all Master Pages to the new page size is the appropriate behavior. The suggested workaround was to generate a book and create a new file containing the different page size, and modifying page numbering etc. to create

Re: Adding 11x17 Master Page into a file in a book

It actually can be done, that is generating mixed page sizes in the final PDF directly from FrameMaker. The basic concept is to make all master pages 17x11 and use ps text box code to trim the final output of non-17x11 pages to 8x11. (postscript marker /cropbox) You could use that as your inside
