Page Count

Apr 4, 2012 2:57 PM

I have had a couple of documents that add blank pages no matter what you change the page count to....it drives me totally craxy. Close it and open it or make a pdf and get extra pages. It is only in the body section of the document. We have cover, toc, body, and then back cover. A co-worker is having the same problem with a document.

 

Page Count Set to Don't Change in book and document. I thought I had read about this somewhere but couldn't find it.

 

Is there an eaxy answer to correcting?

    Its probably because you are using default pagination, which makes the page count even before printing.

    1. Open the framemaker book.
    2. select all the files in the book.
    3. right-click one of the files and select pagination.
    4. In the Pagination dialog box, select Delete Empty Pages from the Before Saving and Printing drop-down menu.

    You also have to look at the following chapter to see if it's been set

    to start on a left- or right-hand page. If, for example, chapter 1 is

    three pages long, chapter 2 cannot start on page 4 if it's set to begin

    on a right-hand page. So FrameMaker inserts a blank page 4 to make

    chapter 2 start on a right-hand page (page 5).

     

    From the book window, right-click on the file(s), select Pagination,

    and set 1st Page Side to "Next Available." Note that this option is not

    available when setting pagination from within a document window.

    Thanks both worked!! I used the delete empty pages. My worker had a one page document and changed the sides of the page to correct the numbering and it worked too!!!

     

    Thanks a bunch!!!

     

    So both are correct!!! Don't know how to mark it!!

    Mark the "best" one (i.e., best practice, easiest, most likely to be done wrong) as Correct and the other as Helpful.

    The correct way is to delete it from the pagination so i think jaloren28 gave the best answer.

     

    Thanks
