"Blank page" text on automatically created empty pages

I want "blank page" text to appear automatically on any page that FrameMaker_8 adds to create an even pagecount. Is this possible?

> Is there no way to tell FM8 which master page to use for an automatically created left last page?
Nope, unless you want to have the default MP "Left" laid out as a TPILB (This Page Intentionally Left Blank). That also requires creating a new "Left.Content" MP, and making sure that a critical mass of commonly used Paragraph Formats are mapped to it or "Right".
What FM needs, and doesn't have, is a notation for the MasterPageMappingTable that controls what happens when there is no Flow A or other user generated content for a page.
Back in the real world, always first work Plan 0, which is to talk management or the customer out of requiring TPILBs in the first place.
TPILBs: I know how to do 'em. Glad we don't need 'em here.

Try adding .epub to the end of the name.
I assume you are aware that to open an .epub file you need a special app, not TextEdit or Pages, right?

How can I automatically create calendar events using text from a Pages document?

Hello,
I'm looking for a way that I can automatically have calendar events created, by extracting dates and times from a table within a Pages document I have saved on my Mac.
Currently, I record my working hours/dates on a Pages document in table format, so that I can record and ensure I receive payment for all hours I work.
After finding out which shifts I have for the week, I insert the day, date, start time and end time (for each shift), into a table within a Pages document.
I'm wondering if there is any way - such as through Automator, Apple Scripts, etc. - that I can then have the Calendar app automatically create events from that data - including the date, start and end times for each shift?
Also, if possible, is there a way to set each event to automatically alert me at a chosen time (1 day, 2 days, etc.) beforehand?
Here is an example of the layout of my document table:
Date
Start
Finish

If anyone can help with this question, that would be greatly appreaciated, as then I could have my calendar automatically create and sync my work shifts across to my iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Thanks in advance,
John.

I totally agree with you.
Where are the fixes for a long string of bugs, glitches and user issues?
Looking at the list of new "features" for the next OSX, Maverick (what a dumb name!), all I am seeing is Apple ripping off other peoples' ideas, something it swinges others mercilessly for.
There is not one thing in Maverick that I don't already have, only more so, with 3rd party add-ons.
Apple seems bereft of ideas now and I am totally mystified what it is doing with all that money and employees it has accumulated.

PDF Printing drops text or creates blank pages

I have the same problem as "alacker2" who noted this problem 2 days ago. The original prints fine from the source document and when printed from another computer. This problem exists for both of my printers (HP). I also experience blank pages when trying to print a PDF from another site. This problem is not consistent because I can print a similar page of the same document elements (tables, text and graphic (PDF))

I am printing from both a browser (safari) and from Acrobat Pro XI. The browser version was also saved to my computer and when I attempted to print, the results were blank pages. MAC OS 10.9.3. The printers are HP officeJet Pro 8600 and HP LaserJet P1102W

Acrobat 7 only creates empty pages.

I have XP, Acrobat 7, and an extreme amount of frustration.
I have been attempting for several weeks to create a PDF file, and every single attempt has ended up with nothing but blank pages. I have no idea what to do, nor can I think of a way to explain any more clearly than to say that every PDF file I have ever attempted to create has ended up being comprised of nothing but completely empty, blank pages.
I would appreciate any and all help figuring out what to do.

The "don't send fonts" works fine in most cases. It is just that the fonts are not embedded in the intermediate PS file and that when Distiller process the PS file to create the PDF it simply looks for the fonts on your system.
The "standard settings" file is the default and it does not embed all of the fonts in the PDF. That is why I suggested using on of the settings files that has press or print in the title. You can always change back later. In fact, if you make this change in the print menu of the application, it will go back to the previous choice once you close the application. To make a permanent change to the printer options, you have to make the change in the printer preference on the START menu. I think that PDF Maker may retain the selection, but not the printer itself.
The settings file listed on the settings tab of the printer properties sets the embedding of fonts, graphics conversion, and such.
You might also try some different fonts in your original file. If the font is not properly licensed, it will not embed in the PDF, even if you request it.
You can also uncheck or check the button related to keeping the log file after successful conversion to PDF. Then you can look at the log file (simply text that can be viewed in Notepad) and see if there were any warnings for the conversion.
Since you are having problems with WORD, try a different package for conversion. Try to print something to the Adobe PDF printer from your browser and see if you get blank pages. There is always the chance you have something messed up in WORD. You could also try to print from WORD to a regular printer.
Please be patient and try some things. We generally suggest the things we would try if we where there. It is a matter of trouble shooting until your find the source. At this point you are assuming it is an Acrobat issue, but could indeed be a WORD problem. Thus isolating the problem is important at this point. That includes going to the most basic process for conversion. If you have a PS file from some other package, you might try Distiller on that file to see if you get an acceptable PDF.

How to create a blank page template?

Hi,
I'm using HTMLDB 2.0 and want to create a completely blank page - when I choose "View Source" on browse it must have no code.
I've created a template with all regions (header, body, footer, etc...) empty, and applied it to a empty page (no regions, items or anything) but when I view it's source on the web browser I always get this empty javascript block:
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
</script>
I need a really empty page. What must I do for this Javascript block disappears from my empty template?
Thank you,
Nuno Vidal

I have the same problem when I try to create an XML template: an unwanted script tag. In addition the footer definition is repeated for some reason.
Any ideas how to get rid of the script tag and repeated footer?
My template is blank except for the following header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"><fields>
body:
#BOX_BODY#
footer:
</fields><f href="http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf"/></xfdf>
What I'm trying to accomplish is creating an xfdf that opens a fillable PDF form. I'm a long ways from getting there but this is my first step.

Imported file creating blank page

I have a file of boilerplate text. My current document imports this (as a referenced file). The boilerplate file concludes with a table and then a single blank line using the Normal paragraph style. It all looks just fine in the boilerplate file.
However, in my document file, there's an extra blank page and I cannot delete. When I try to delete it, I get an error: "Cannot delete pages. They contain imported text that extends outside the page range you are deleting. Convert the text insets to text and try again."
Any suggestions?

I do not have pagination set to "make page count even" and I was importing into a paragraph of style "normal." However, you gave me an idea. I did some experimentation and this seems to fix it:
1. Open the file to be inserted. It should end with an empty paragraph, with font size of 2. Save & close.
2. Delete the inserted file from the chapter or document file.
3. If the extra blank page is still present, delete it.
4. Create a an empty paragraph where the inserted file will go, with font size of 2.
5. Put the cursor on the new empty paragraph and insert the file.
6. Refresh all references.
I know it seems convoluted, but it does appear to be working.
Thanks, Error7103.

Eliminating blank pages caused by conditional text

FM 8.0p277
Windows 7 32-bit
My PDF file contains extra blank pages caused by hidden conditional text. All files are set to "Delete empty pages." Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks!
Karen

Hi Peter,
Thanks for responding!
The blank pages do not use custom master pages and do not have any empty carriage returns. However, because of the way the page break happens to fall, the marker for the hidden conditional text is the only thing on the blank page. If a hidden condition marker is the only thing on a page, can FM not delete the page?
Also, is there any way that FM can ignore a file in the book that is 100% conditional, and not create any pages for it in the PDF?
Thanks,
Karen

Why are bookmarks being created whenever I Insert a blank page?

I am currently using a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I notice that whenever I want to edit my PDF and insert a blank page into the pdf that a bookmark will be created for each blank page that I am adding. I am wondering if the bookmark creation tool was some automatic selection that is applied when you create the blank page? Is it possible to turn it off? This can become quite a hassle if you are adding a number of blank pages sporadically throughout the document.

I am also trying to do this same thing.
I have followed the text as it is stated in
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/faq9i.htm#43
but it still does not work.
My invisible line prints on every other page, however
my repeating frame prints on every page with no page breaks.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Vicki

When viewing documents on a Web Server, IE automatically opens a blank page and then opens the document in the default program. The blank screen should close automatically but isn't happening.

So here is the situation, my company uses a third party scanning software, that puts documents scanned or created onto a webserver. We use a program that grants a user access to view the documents on the webserver. The user will have to log into the system
using credentials, we have Kerberos doing this. Once the user is logged onto the system they navigate to the document they want to view or edit. So the user wants to view a .pdf file, they click the document they want, and it is supposed to open in the default
program associated with file extension. ie: .doc would open Word, .xls would open Excel. When the document is loading in the default program Internet Explorer opens a blank page, this page is supposed to prompt the user if they want to open or save the document.
(I changed the registry to have the files selected to automatically open without this prompt.) The blank screen generated is still staying open, this screen is supposed to close automatically after the prompt or close automatically after the document is opened.
So when a user is looking at several documents, this floods the screen with all these blank Internet Explorer pages. This problem is only occurring for users that have Windows 7 PC's, XP users do not have this problem at all. My PC is the only one in the company
that is Windows 7 64-bit, and working properly with the IE blank page automatically closing. I'm wondering what can be done to fix this problem, is it as simple as registering some .dll files or do I need to make a registry change? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.

What is the registry change exactly? Sounds like one which is supposed to avoid the prompt. I know
that there used to be such a thing, before the new prompt and I know that some users think that there should be such a thing for any program but I'm not sure if that expectation is valid or not. I think this may also be related to a concurrent change
in the OS. E.g. in XP we had File Types Options editor but starting in Vista that was removed. You might get some more clues on this tack from NirSoft's FileTypesMan utility.
The registry change that I did was to remove the open and save prompt. I will be sure to look into that. Our company
isn't worried about the user's automatically opening the files since they are all trusted. They also do not have the ability to install anything, so if they were to download a potentially harmful file they could never install it. We monitor downloads as well,
if they download files off the internet that aren't work related we remove their download capabilities.
Sounds like a scenario for using ProcMon to take two traces and compare them for their essential differences.
I talked to my boss about using this tool and he is worried about using it. I'm only an intern at my office and do not have the authority to use a program without their knowledge or consent. I will run the idea by them again and see if it's okay I use this.
I'll maybe make some presentation about how it can help us with our problem and how much time and money it will save. Because I really want to get down to the bottom of this.
Probably the most significant thing is going to be the Content-type that the files are being served by.
You could use the Developer Tools, Network Capture to check on that and ProcMon could help explain what happens after that. A related workaround to change the symptom when the Content-type is not what is expected is to disable MIME Sniffing (e.g. in
Security options, Miscellaneous section). In fact, perhaps that could explain your machine's difference with anyone else? MIME Sniffing is a default, previously known as "save according to type not extension" (or some such wording).
Okay I will be completely honest I have no idea how to use Developer Tools (F12), yes I could google it, when I tried using it on the blank pages it would never work, I also have no idea what I'm looking at. I should mention that I do not have access to
the web server. Our programming and development side only has access to our AS400, which is where the web server is located. I do have MIME Sniffing enabled and so does everyone else. I may be wrong but, I believe it is needed in order to open the file extension
in the correct default program, yes? I thought MIME Sniffing would see a .docx file and then find the appropriate program to open that .docx file in. I may be wrong but I know it's used somehow along these lines.

HELP! Full size image is creating a new blank page that I cannot delete.

Hello,
I am creating a document where each page has a full size (8.5x11) image that is set to the background. I then have text over the background image. My problem is that when I make the background image and insert another page, I get a blank page that I cannot get rid of. I have made sure that the full size image is not going over the border but it is still creating an invisable character that is a blue line with an icon at the end.
How can I get rid of this line??
To insert the large inage, I am creating a square shape and extending it to the edge of the document. I am then filling that shape with an image.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank you in advance!

Nevermind! I found the answer!! I had to un-check Object To Wrap in the Inspector.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

Deleting blank pages in PDFs automatically

Greetings. We have a Ricoh Multipurpose scanner that scans documents to a network folder as a PDF. Because there
are a mix of Duplex and single page original documents, blank pages are created in some of the PDFs. Our staff has been
manually deleting them using Acrobat Pro. We would like to use a product that can automatically scan the network
folder and take the blank pages out. Does Adobe have such a product? If not can someone recommend a 3rd party product that
they have used.
Thanks so much for your help. DonaldF129

Bernd:
Thanks for your note. I'm unfamiliar with the Preflight tool - where would I get this. Is the "Batch Sequence" entered
into the Preflight tool?
Thanks again DonaldF129

Acrobat Pro XI - Inserting a blank page creates a bookmark

When I insert a blank page Acrobat automatically creates a bookmark pointing to that blank page. Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

It's likely a HTTPS site or you have an authenticating proxy server where you are required to enter a password to acess the web page.

How to create slideshow for pictures on blank page

G'day,
I'm just starting to use iWeb 09 and would like to ask a really basic question. My apologies in advance if it has been asked and answered in the past.
I have created a page using the "blank page" template and added some text and pictures. On the photo page, I understand that you can click on a photo to see a larger version and to run a slideshow. Is it possible to create this functionality for pictures placed on a blank page? Or is this functionality only available on a photo album page?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Doug

Doug:
I believe you can do so. Create the photo page, click on the thumbnail layout box and copy it. Go to the blank page and paste. You'll have to lengthen the page using the Inspector/Page/Layout pane so the entire thumbnail layout box is visible in the body. Then go back and delete the photo page.
This test slideshow page was copied from another site in iWeb and pasted on a blank page: PhotoCopy. It seems to work just like the Photo page.
