I'm using JADE with the RTF back-end and Microsoft Word'97 to produce PDF
using Adobe's Distiller.
In order to fit a formatted page into half of an 8.5x11 inch page (for
double up printing and binding) I've set a page length in my DSSSL script
of 8.5x13.13 inches in order to get a ratio of 5.5:8.5 (64.7%).
So far, so good ... Word'97 reads in the page size and the "Page Setup"
information correctly shows 8.5x13.13 inches.
In PDF Distiller, under Settings/JobOptions/Advanced/DefaultPageSize I've
set up 8.5x13.13 inches.
In the Word Print Properties for Distiller I set up and select a custom
page size of 8.5x13.13 inches before printing.
When I distill the RTF file, Exchange is bringing up the document in an
8.5x14 inch form factor. With this page size, I cannot correctly shrink
the page proportionately to fit half of an 8.5x11 inch page.
Of course, none of this is a problem with A4!
Can anyone suggest approaches around my problem of finding my information
on a page size that isn't what I want/need?
Thanks!
............ Ken
