Saving to pdf with distiller when some documents have different dimensions

[brianengland01]

I use distiller 9 at work to convert books, made with Framemaker 11, to a pdf. The problem is that some pages are an 11x17 fold out. We go back and replace these manually in the final pdf. Is there a way that distiller can handle these files during the convert to pdf process? We are thinking of adding more pages this way, and this would be a huge time saver.

Our software- Framemaker 11, Acrobat 9 Pro, Acrobat Distiller 9, PS and AI CS5.

I do not believe this can be done.

Brian,

If you use the SaveAsPDF option, specify the maximum page size required (e.g. 11x17) in the FM PDF setup. Then FM will automatically crop all pages that are smaller than the maximum. You shouldn't need to manually insert the over-sized pages anymore.
