Thanks for the tips, unfortunately that printer driver didn't have
'custom', others did but they would always convert any colured
graphics to black & white.

However, using your principles, I was able to get a 4 page document,
although the resultant PDF 'pages' do look a bit funny, with a
Publisher 'page' of 4.13" x 5.85" centered on an A4 sized (PDF) page.

The pages all look okay though, and the 2 pages that were 'upside
down' when I used the 'fold card' effect in Publisher, came out the
correct way (rotated 180 degress).

I don't think I can really do any better than the current convert,
being restricted to paper size of A4, and no 'custom' on the paper
size on the printer setup.

Here is what I had to do to get the 4 pages in PDF.

Publisher | File | Page Setup
Special size - Custom - 8.26" x 11.70"
Orientation - Portrait

Publisher | File | Print Setup
A4
Layout - 1 up

Any other sort of settings, either created:

* 4 PDF pages with the same Publisher 'page' being reproduced 4 times
on each page
* 4 PDF pages with the same Publisher 'page' being reproduced 2 times
on each page.
* 3 PDF pages , the first page was page 1 from Publisher, the 2nd page
was pages 2 and 3 from Publisher, and the 3rd PDF page was the final
(4th) page from Publisher.

The computer with Publisher is Win95b, so I really don't think there
would be an updated (suitable) driver that did Postscript, and left
the coloured graphics intact.

I found this article very helpful:
