Problem in deleting empty pages
Hi All,
I am having problem in deleting empty pages from each chapter.
Whenever I delete a large chunk of data from a chapter, the empty pages
that are left behind don't get deleted.
I have set the pagination settings for the book as following:
1) 1st Page Side = Read from File
2) Before Saving Printing = Make Page Count Even (because I want to
have an empty page after each chapter)
But this setting works for some chapters (i.e empty pages get deleted)
but for some chapters it does not work instead it shows a pop window
asking the following question:
The new column layout in csr.fm seems to overlap other objects on
some body pages.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Number of body pages affected:7. First page:38
If I click on OK nothing happens (i.e empty pages don't get deleted)
I tried to solve this problem by writing a script also which works like
this:
I will add a text as Lastpage on the whenever we finish writing a
chapter.. Then, we will find that text and loop through the pages after that
page and delete those empty pages.
For example,
My chapter has 10 pages
I have a text Lastpage inserted in page 7
Pages 9-10 should get automatically deleted from the chapter (Page 8
remains).
If the text Lastpage is in page 8, pages 9-10 should get
automatically deleted from the chapter
I have written the following script in trying to fix this:
Set CurrentDoc = ActiveDoc;
New StringList NewVar(bPageNos);
New Integer NewVar(currPageNo);
New Integer NewVar(lastPageNo);
Loop ForEach(BodyPage) In(CurrentDoc) LoopVar(oPage)
//Loop thru all the body pages in a chapter and store their page numbers
in the stringlist
Add Member(oPage.pagenum) To(bPageNos);
set lastPageNo = bPageNos.count;
write lastPageNo;
EndLoop
New String NewVar(bpBodyPage);
//Find the text Lastpage that I inserted on the page at which the chapter
finishes
Find FromTextLoc String('Lastpage') ReturnRange(trange) ReturnStatus
(stat);
If stat = true
//get the page number where it finds the text Lastpage
set currPageNo = CurrentPage.pagenum;
Write currPageNo;
write lastPageNo;
//Loop from the page where it found the text Lastpage till the last page
in the chapter
Loop While(i = lastPageNo) LoopVar(i) Init(currPageNo+1) Incr(1)
write lastPageNo;
//Get the body page for each page that we loop thru and delete that page
Get Object Type(BodyPage) Name(oPage) DocObject(CurrentDoc)
NewVar(lPage);
write lPage;
Delete Object(lPage);
endloop
endif
But I am getting the following error:
OBJ(NULL) error
on the following line of the code: Get Object Type(BodyPage) Name(oPage)
DocObject(CurrentDoc)
Please suggest a workaround to this solution.

RE: Problem in deleting empty pages
Ranvijaj,
When I first encountered this problem, another member of this list pointed out
that the pages might not be completely empty. And they weren't. When I selected
all on one of the last empty pages in the chapter (by click-dragging), small
'boxes' would appear with nothing in them. They were typically 'leftovers' from
random mouse-work - at least in my case. When they were deleted, I could save
the chapter and the empty pages would disappear.
HTH,
Nanna

Re: Problem in deleting empty pages
I also get that error sometimes. When I click OK, it deletes the page,
but every time I update the book it comes back. It's probably due to a
conflict with something defined on a master page. If anyone one has a
solution, I'm be very greatful. This is a real nuisance, and Frame is
supposed to be stable :)

Re: Problem in deleting empty pages
Hi, It's not really a conflict with something on a master page, but a conflict with the pagination settings on a book level. Your 1st Page Side may have been set to Right for each file (chapter) in your book. If so, FrameMaker will add a left blank page to the previous file. -- Yves Barbion Technical Writer Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor UI Learning nv (formerly ATeK nv) Molenaarsstraat 111 B-9000 Gent Belgium Tel.: +32 9 265 74 72 Fax: +32 9 265 74 84 www.uni-learning.com ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

Problem in deleting empty pages
Hi, It's not really a conflict with something on a master page, but a conflict with the pagination settings on a book level. Your 1st Page Side may have been set to Right for each file (chapter) in your book. If so, FrameMaker will add a left blank page to the previous file. -- Yves Barbion Technical Writer Adobe-Certified FrameMaker Instructor U Learning nv (formerly ATeK nv) Molenaarsstraat 111 B-9000 Gent Belgium Tel.: +32 9 265 74 72 Fax: +32 9 265 74 84 www.uni-learning.com
Problem in deleting empty pages
Hi, Ranvijay: Delete empty pages requires these properties on the pages to be deleted: * No custom master pages are used, only standard Left and Right. * No content of any kind in the text flow on the body page, not even a carriage return. * The settings are applied to the files in the book window. * Because Book window settings supercede file-level settings, except when Read from File is set, when you choose Read from File, the file's settings must be correct for the results you want. You may need to experiment to see which is less confusing to define and maintain- a combination of read from file and book-level settings, or only settings from the book window. >I am having problem in deleting empty pages from each chapter. > > >Whenever I delete a large chunk of data from a chapter, the empty pages >that are left behind don't get deleted. > > >I have set the pagination settings for the book as following: >1) 1st Page Side = Read from File >2) Before Saving & Printing = Make Page Count Even (because I want to >have an empty page after each chapter) > > >But this setting works for some chapters (i.e empty pages get deleted) >but for some chapters it does not work instead it shows a pop window >asking the following question: > > >"The new column layout in csr.fm seems to overlap other objects on >some body pages. >Are you sure you want to do this? >Number of body pages affected:7. First page:38" This error seems to indicate that some other activity is occurring during the book updating process, such as invoking Apply Master Pages, or perhaps it's a result of your script's activity. If you observe the requirements, you shouldn't need a script. For more views, suggestions, and opinions, search FM's online help for delete empty pages, and also search Google, the Adobe forum search (see the link at the top of this page) and the Adobe knowledgebase (also see the link above.)
