Quick question, does the larger file begin with a different element than the other files in the book? If so, you may want to double-check the mapping for that element.

Two weeks of trials last year did not produce the results I needed. I will check that reference pages are applied across all, could have missed one. Why do I have one giant file in this project? Because I can. In the past I've done it both ways, and both have converted just fine. Broken up, it's harder to manage last page/first page copy breaks (there are no ends of chapters, it all flows together). Combined, you do have to wait for the app to chug thru it. (When Frame was a Mac app, that was never an issue.)
