Re: Adding a Blank Page Before/After Book Cover
Hi Angela, I get a separate pdf from our Marketing dep. containing the front page for my manual. Here is how I do it: 1. Put an empty page in my FM file where the front page should be. 2. Create the pdf. 3. Open the manual pdf in Acrobat (Standard). 4. Put the cursor in the first page. 5. Select Document Pages Replace. 6. Browse to my front page pdf and insert it. This way I keep the numbering of pages correct. You should be able to do the same with your back cover. If you need to have a completely blank page, you could place a dedicated paragraph format on the page. Then in your reference page, assign your blank master page to this paragraph format. This way the blank master page will not be overwritten by the default Left/Right master pages, but will stay there through all your updates. Hope this helps! /Christiane Christiane Crety Technical Writer T + 45 39 55 86 82 E [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thrane Thrane A/S - Lundtoftegaardsvej 93D DK-2800 Kgs.

RE: Adding a Blank Page Before/After Book Cover
Try one of the following: 1. Provide the printer with separate cover files and a file for the manual's content. Funny, I don't have a problem getting my printer service to understand that the second side of each cover file is blank. 2. Make a PDF of a blank page, and keep it for all your projects. Before closing the final PDF, insert the blank page after the front cover and before the back cover. 3. In FrameMaker, start your first manual file with a blank page (an empty paragraph followed by a page break) with double-side pagination starting on the left. Set FormatPage LayoutMaster Page UsageCustom=None for that page. After the last file, create a blank page for the end. HTH, David David Schor Technical Communication Manager Emblaze-VCON Ltd.

RE: Adding a Blank Page Before/After Book Cover
Is the cover in a different software? My front and back covers are created by marketing in InDesign. They send me the front and back cover. I create a new pdf with a blank page pdf. For example, In Adobe Acrobat Create multiple files FrontCover.pdf BlankPage.pdf Name = Manual1_FC.pdf Create Multiple files BlankPage.pdf BackCover.pdf Name = Manual1_BC.pdf For the final document Create Multiple Files Manual1_FC.pdf Manual1.pdf Manual1_BC.pdf Name = 45234-US-060316 I'm sure that there is an easier way.

RE: Adding a Blank Page Before/After Book Cover
Angela, Since your cover and back cover PDFs are not generated from Frame, I assume that you are using Acrobat Professional to put them together into the single PDF. Acrobat Professional is where you need to add your blank pages. Since Acrobat only allows you to insert pages from another PDF, what you will need to do is create a PDF of a blank page that is the same size as the rest of your book. You might want to create a new file using the template for your book and apply a blank master page (no headers or footers) to it, save the document, then PDF it. You can then use this PDF to insert the blank page after your front cover and before your back cover.

Adding a Blank Page Before/After Book Cover
Hi Angela, I suggest a different way of creating the manual. Create 3 Frame files for your manual: front, body, back. Set all 3 files to make pagecount even. Put all 3 files in a book. Print the book to _one_ PDF file. The blank pages will be there. Much easier than the way you are doing it.
