If I understand what you are trying to do I would set up a master page with your 'one page' as the content. Then apply this master to all the pages.

yup...thats exactly what im trying to do :) ... I have gone about it the old fashioned way of copying and placing 99 pages (not advised lol) ...and am now wondering if im getting a true reflection of how it may appear (for file size).

Im intending on offering a rich content magazine for download...and i have just used quite a heavy page as the master for copy/placing...

Is copying and pasting a true copy and paste as in 'concatenate' or are they 'instance' copy pastes....the reason I ask is that a 99 page pdf with image content encompassing everypage was only 1/2 a Mg. (and i was using bicubic resampling on a medium image quality)

Also, how would I go about creating a 'master' as you said above ? I am using the trial version of CS.

Thanks alot mate...appreciate your help!!

paulmoran: the PDF creator will realize that the information is the same on all pages and will create a PDF substantially smaller than a PDF that has different information on all pages.

This is particularly so if you use a master page to create all the pages.
