SOLVED: Dissimilar Page Sizes - FM 7.0 - Structured to PDFs
The "why" is likely a slight difference in the job settings in use when you run Distiller and print from FM. For instance, in the Acrobat job settings, there's a checkbox that allows the settings (page size, for example) in the PS file to override Acrobat settings. Unchecked, I think it would impose the default Acrobat page size. It's likely to be a small thing like that, something that's easy to overlook.

SOLVED: Dissimilar Page Sizes - FM 7.0 - Structured to PDFs
Thanks to all on the list and the replies. We had a problem generating PDFs with all of the dissimilar page sizes not coming out correctly (truncated page content on larger sized pages) and having all of the links working correctly. Our 'fix' has been to use the Adobe PDF printer settings and Distiller in sequence to process the Frame book out as a .PS file (with Acrobat Data) and then generate the PDFs from Distiller. Works fine, simple process. What I still don't really 'get' is why, (we're using Frame 7.0) doesn't this work correctly from Frame itself, to just print a book directly as a PDF with all of the page sizing and link functionality working as a single selection function? Like 'Save Book As PDF' or something, since Frame obviously knows the differing page sizes and the link information already? Since we are trying to improve (streamline and simplify) our process, is there something that I'm missing here, being somewhat 'new' to Frame?
