Hi, You also need to customize the template named 'initial.page.number' so the value is 'auto' instead of the default 'auto-odd' when $double.sided != 0. This message from the archive provides details:

Hi, now I face the problem that our standards demand to delete blank pages in PDF output. I could manage it by using the following command: <xsl:template name="force.page.count"> <xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/> <xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/> <xsl:choose> <!-- double-sided output --> <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">no-force</xsl:when> <!-- single-sided output --> <xsl:otherwise>no-force</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> The blank pages are gone, but now the page numbering is not consecutive - the page numbers of the deleted blank pages are skipped over.. What's the best way to solve this problem? Thanks Isabel Hofherr
