Ian, In general, from a professional tech writer viewpoint, I think the first two ideas suck, but to go a little further, you didn't really provide enough info: * what is the goal of the redo? * what standard or style guide are you following that presents these suggestions, or which are you going to follow? * what audience do you write to * what kind of guides are you producing? Software / hardware, installation, administration, user, something else?
As for the third idea, why have blank pages in a PDF at all? If it's so people can print a book traditional fashion... that may be the real question -- if that's useful, or required, or something else. In any case, I'd simply eliminate the blanks before I labeled them unless they are required AND a label is required by a standard. Cheers, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...
