Thank you, Gary and Claire.
Some of them are caused by manual break and some are by property of
image objects, I guess. Through your help, I fixed most problems, but
there are still some. I couldn't figure out why. There's nothing, but
text. I almost give up, because exporting pdf takes too much
time.(about 15-30 minutes)
BTW, I printed as pdf file instead exporting. In this case, it doesn't
have bookmarks from titles, but at least there's no meaningless empty
page.
Exporting a PDF should not take that long. I recently distilled a
(high-quality definition) 560+ (A4) page text book PDF to send off to a
commercial printer with over 200 grayscale graphics that took only a
very few minutes (four maybe?) using FrameMaker and Acrobat Pro. And the
intermediate PostScript file was over 1/2 GB in size. The computer doing
that was an ancient Dell P4 1.7 GHz 1 GB RAM unit with a CPU benchmark
of only 231--barely faster than an older P3 laptop from the very early
2000s. The fast machine here is a 64-bit duo-core quad 8GB RAM unit with
a CPU benchmark of around 3600 or 3700. It can be overclocked to a
benchmark around 5500 or more. The machine would distill a PDF in a flash.
The point I am making is that your machine has to have something that is
terribly bogging down its computing. Most likely something mechanical,
such as a hard-drive problem.Try using the free DiskTrix defragmenter
and see if that speeds things up a bit.
