Hi Alison,
Open the individual files in your book file, then right-click each file in
succession and choose Pagination. Try applying Read from File in the 1st
page Side drop-down. If that fails, change it to Next Available. If that
doesn't work, try deleting extra pages with Special Delete
Note that the unselected option Pages: x to x lists First Page as 1 and
Last Page as 4, so FM is acknowledging that there are actually 4 pages in
this document - even though there should only be 2.
If I recall correctly, when you assign a custom master page to a page in a
document, and then
That was the first place I went once I realized the auto update function
wasn't working. Unfortunately (for me) the only RoboHelp updates
available seem to be in the traditional RoboHelp stream of products (X3,
etc.).
If you do find anyone that might have them, please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi Alison,
Is it possible the consultant used conditional text that is hidden? I've
seen FM leave empty pages in a file when you turn off conditional tag
display, because the text is still there but the pagination is not
updated when it's not visible.
I'd turn on all conditional tags in your

OK, fair enough. Implementation detail. But I have seen Frame not reduce
the page count, even after saving the file with the tags turned off.

This is likely an applied master page issue and has nothing to do with
the implementation of conditional text. Special Delete Pages is your
friend when dealing with rogue empty pages.

Thanks everyone. The Special Delete Pages did it. I guess 6 months of
FrameMaker experience hasn't make me an expert yet :-(((.
FYI:
- Selecting the files and right-clicking on Pagination showed that Read from
File was already set for all files.
- My Consultant didn't create any Conditional
Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. Sorry about the delay in MY

as PDFs and it worked great!
Thanks again,

Where is your End of Flow marker located?
On each page of the document, do a Select All On Page (Ctrl+A) to see
if any additional elements (e.g. graphics frame with invisible border)
are on the pages.
Check whether there is an additional text flow in the doc (perhaps you
have an empty

In addition to the other marker-management tools mentioned in recent
threads, you might want to look at the free markerworker tool, by
"cud." Search Google for it.
To colorize markers, I think you could apply a character format or
condition tag to them:
