I really appreciate all of your input so far. Thank you! Unfortunately, we haven't yet found the answer. I did trip over something that may "click" with someone though.
In each case, if I change the conditional settings to "Show All" and set the pagination settings to "Next Available [Page]" and "Delete Empty Pages", I don't have the blank pages at the end. When I change the conditional settings to show only the conditions appropriate to the PDF, I get the blank pages in the FM as well as the PDF. I can see the pilcrow marking the end of the document so I don't know what FM thinks is beyond that point.
