Hello, I use the following: Windows 2000 Professional FrameMaker 5.5.2 Adobe Acrobat 5 My goal is to change the PDF page size from 7.5" x 9" to 8.5" x 11" to accommodate clients who print manuals on standard size paper. The text must reformat to accommodate the wider margins. I am using the Acrobat PDFWriter from FrameMaker. My problem is that all of my FrameMaker Book templates are set to Custom 7.5 x 9, and though I can change the page size, the text frames do not automatically resize on custom master pages. I have a large volume of existing manuals to convert to the new page size. What are my options? Do I need to manually change the text frames on all of the master pages in each chapter of the book files? Should I make new templates with the desired size and layout and import the new master pages into existing files to overwrite the current settings? Is there any way to do the reformatting in Acrobat? Other options? Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance. PhylB
