Hello Pam,

I am using an older version of FrameMaker (7.0) than you, but I can print to postscript and distill a whole book with mixed portrait/landscape pages in one go. I assume it must be possible for you too.
When printing did you use a paper size that is large enough to accomodate all paper sizes used in the book? This is essential.
When printing select the Adobe PDF printer. In the printer set-up (properties tab) you can specify a custom paper size (your landscape pages with width 17, height 11) and give it a name. Select this paper name as paper size and orientation portrait when printing to a postscipt (.ps) file. Then Distill to PDF.
In the PDF the 'normal' pages will retain their original format. The larger landscape pages will be completely visible.
