We recently changed our templates to eliminate the alternating left/right page layouts, since a consistent page layout looks better online, but we still keep the blank pages if anyone wants to print double-sided. Our pages are numbered consecutively straight through the entire document,

That's essentially the format I've adopted for our current templates. I publish to our web server using WebWorks Reverb for our primary format, but use PDFs for reviews and for externally distributed documents. Documents with large complex tables are usually easier to read on paper and some of

imho It's my assumption that the purpose of a PDF is to represent a printed book, so I will typically include all the bits that make that PDF into a book if printed. There are still lots of people who print PDFs (or at least parts). If someone reading the PDF online has to jump over a blank

2014-12-18 Thread Tony Marek (PDF)
Hello all – Second question in one week: Is there any easy way to delete obsolete variables from the variables library at the book level (Frame 12)? I’m trying to create a consistent list of variables across all chapters in a book and I can’t find a way to do the deletions except

Tony,You need the Clean Import plugin. You manually clean up on chapter in the book, then run Clean Import against the rest of the book and you are done. Works with para tags, char tags, cond text, etc. On Thursday, December 18, 2014 2:36 PM, Tony Marek (PDF) tony.ma...@pdf.com wrote:
