multiple sources to Adobe PDF. This feature can be used as an alternative to
existing commercial applications for creating PDF documents. Documents
saved as PDF retain their original appearance, and can be viewed and printed
with Adobe® Reader® on Windows, Mac OS®, and UNIX® platforms.
For a document using mixed paper sizes, all pages in the PDF use the size of
the first page.
