Subject:Defining page size using Adobe generic PS From:John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 27 Jun 2003 11:33:56 -0400
Hi, guys...I have large diagrams in Visio that I'd like to print to PS so I
can distill to PDF as one page, so I can merge them into the PDF created by
FrameMaker.
In FM, I reserved a spot in the pagination for each PDF that I'll be
inserting.
I went to the Adobe site, downloaded the generic PS driver, installed it to
use a local port, etc.
However, I find that when I try to configure page size in the Generic PS
printer, it only gives me options for small format outputs...legal is the
largest size, so when I distill the PDF, I get a PDF in 10 pages.
I'd like to create a page size in the area of 18 wide by 24 high so the
image is in one piece.
Any hints?
