Is it possible to vary the page size on a 6 page spread? The 1st and last page 2 inches and the 4 middle pages 3 inches.

I am using InDesign CS3 on a Mac with OS 10.5.6

Thanks,

Larry

There is a plug in that will do this. The problem with it tho is when you go to print the job.
The pages will all print to the main document size so there is no way to tell where the odd size pages trim. A better way to do this type of project is to make the document size the size of the whole spread, then draw guides and fold tick marks for page position.

What is the name of the plug-in and where can I find it?

The job I am working is actually a large 6 panel job going to a RIP that cannot panel. The end panels are 15 x 89.5 with the middle 4 panels 29.4375 x 89.5. The goal is to drop a graphic into a "6 page spread of varying sizes" and export PDF files of each panel. The panels must also have .25 inch bleed/overlay which will happen when you export in InDesign with the bleed on. Out cutting device will then come in .25 inch on the trimming. This would insure panel alignment after printing.

If you can think of a better method to create these panels—please let me know.

Thanks again for the info!
