FW: Importing 11x17 illustrations into Framemaker and converting to P DF

["Ross, Diana L." <RossDL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dina Davidson responded to my question and I replied back (to her). I don't
know if she got it so I'm sending it back through "framers". I'm hoping she
(or even someone else) will respond back. Thanks.

> You must make sure that the PostScript driver you are using is attached to

> PPD that supports the larger page size.
> Use the Acrobat PPD, this is what I do and it works like charm.
> 
> Steps:
> Install another "Printer instance" of your Adobe PS driver.
> Use the Acrobat Distiller 3.0 ppd.
> When you print your manual to PostScript, use your regular driver.
> Print that one page to PostScript using the Acrobat Distiller-ed driver.
> Distill the PS files to PDF, then, in Exchange, delete the cropped page
> and
> insert the correctly sized one.
> You may need to re-do some links in Exchange, but the work will be minimal
> for one drawing.
> 
> Good luck and do contact me if you want further info.
