Does anyone have any suggestions for producing two FrameMaker books that:


  * Contain identical content that must also be periodically updated
  * Must be delivered as two separate PDF books, each book having a different
  page size

I'm familiar with migrating FrameMaker content from one page size to another: Create a new chapter template of the desired size, then import styles, etc., and content into that new template.

But IF one must deliver the same content in two different books, AND each book using a different page size (U.S. Letter and B5), AND the content is periodically updated and maintained, THEN what's the best way to manage that same content, two different page-sizes delivery problem?

PDFs are generated from FrameMaker 7 or 8 (we have both) via Adobe Distiller 9.

Cheers & thanks for your help,
Riley
