------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 19 23:17:30 +0000 2008 ------- Listen guys: That page count issue is NOT the only issue with this. The REAL issue with this is the STYLE issue! i.e. when I'm doing not a printed book but an e-book it becomes impossible to apply the page style of an odd page to an even page. THAT'S where the real mess starts! The conclusion: The way #2 suggested by fme (i.e. "In non-book-mode, the total number of pages has to be counted excluding empty pages.") absolutely CANNOT be used! There only ONE way to solve this problem and it's this: "1. In non-book-mode, the internal odd=right rule should not be applied" i.e. in a non-book-mode the internal odd=right rule has to be completely switched off! Because not only that would get the page count right it would also allow (finally) to get the page styles applied correctly. i.e. after odd page style the next page must get the even page style and after the even page style the following page must get the odd page style etc. The problem now is: For example: Page xx is an odd page and so it has automatically the odd page style. The following page has automatically the even page style. So far everything OK. But when this following page happens to become an "empty" page it retains the even page style and so the page that follows after that gets the odd page style. The result is: Even if you don't care about page count and export a PDF without empty pages you get TWO page with the same (in this example odd) page style following directly after each other which is totally WRONG! In an e-book the odd page style and the even page style must always *alternate*. Having two pages after each other with the same page style is a HUGE problem! So, I'm sorry to tell you this but the only way to completely fix this problem is the one that requires more work, i.e. this one: "1. In non-book-mode, the internal odd=right rule should not be applied" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
