Empty pages - how to delete?
Hello, I created a book having various chapters and applied master pages having double sided layouts. The first pages of all the chapters are right sided. The following is the specification, I provided for pagination: Double sided, Ist Page side - Right, Before Saving and Printing - Make Page Count Even. While trying to delete the empty pages, I specified: Before Saving and Printing - Delete empty pages. But this does not solve my problem. When I update the cross-references, Index, and TOC, these empty pages return. I am creating a pdf from this book and these empty pages are really a turn off... Suman - Do you Yahoo!?

RE: Empty pages - how to delete?
Suman, 1. FrameMaker is behaving exactly as it should. When you specify in your book that all files begin on a Right (or odd) page, then logically, a Left (or even) page must precede the Right page. You can't go from Odd to Odd, so FrameMaker inserts the bridging page. 2. Book pagination settings override local document pagination settings. However, for a screen PDF, the Left-Right pagination may be irrelevant. So to prevent the automatic addition of blank pages, change the Book Pagination settings to a Single page layout, start the files on Next Available Page and for Before Saving and Printing, define Delete Empty Pages. The result should be files (chapters) that start on odd or even pages immediately following the end of the previous file. HTH, David David Schor Technical Communication Manager Emblaze-VCON Ltd.

Re: Empty pages - how to delete?
Thanks Mike, I indeed applied custom master pages and there were around 2-5 empty pages after each chapter. This option is working well to get rid of them.

As others have noted, Make Page Count Even may cause FrameMaker to add a single blank page to make the page count even. If your problem is multiple trailing blank pages in a file, it means you applied custom master pages to them, but then deleted the content. As I recall, Delete Empty Pages won't delete those empty pages whose master pages are not the standard left/right master pages. You first have to use Special Delete Pages to get rid of those. Then Delete Empty Pages and Make Page Count Even will work as expected. Mike Wickham - Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
