I have made a single page letter using mail merge. If I print it out to a single document, each page is followed by a blank page in the output file (I am saving that single output as a PDF file).

How do I get rid of these blank pages? This is in Openoffice.org 2.4 on Debian. Same results on OOo 2.3 on Debian as well.

Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org Writer | Print | Other and remove the tick from "Print automatically inserted blank pages". Does that help?

No, it didn't do the trick.


If you are actually printing (or using a virtual printer), you can reach the same settings on the fly from the Options... button in the print

When I do "Print ...", it just informs me that I am printing a form letter etc. There is no Option button anywhere in the procedure after that (Print -> Select records -> Print to File -> choose the output filename and format).


dialogue. If you are exporting as PDF, use File | Export as PDF... instead of the Export Directly as PDF button, and then, in the PDF Options dialogue, go to General | General and remove the tick from "Export automatically inserted blank pages".

This does not work with Mail Merge. It just prints the document with the fields shown. The fields are not replaced with information from the database.

thanks,

I trust this helps.
