Hi:

For what it's worth, what I've done so far was to create a new, separate Adobe PDF Converter printer and configured it to use 176mm x 250mm pages.

I then printed the FrameMaker book's U.S. Letter pages through that printer.

The result was acceptable, although some visual design elements were truncated from the unusually thin page margins. It's for that reason that I began this follow-up post with "what I've done so far" -- it remains to be seen if this quick-and-dirty approach will suffice, or whether I'll need to refine the solution a bit more...

(I really, really want to avoid developing two parallel FrameMaker books with different page sizes if I can -- the administrative headaches of parallel content give me a headache just thinking about them...)

Cheers, thanks, & hope this helps,
Riley
