Blank Page Issues in FrameMaker

This thread addresses the prevention and removal of unwanted blank pages in FrameMaker.

Difficult to Remove Blank Pages Caused by Custom Master Pages Consider the following troubleshooting concerning customized master pages and unwanted blank pages: Make sure you assign default Left or Right master page to the empty page(s) you want to remove. To elaborate: if the empty pages are NOT due to book-level pagination changes by FM when the book is updated, then they could be due to one or more chapters having had user-created master pages assigned to body pages prior to content editing that resulted in smaller chapters. For example, in a 4-page chapter that has the following master page assignments: <ul> Right Left Special_Right Special_Left </ul> If content editing results in a 2-page chapter with only the Right and Left pages and then the book is updated, FM's "pre-historical memory" remembers that the Special_Right and Special_Left pages had been there <can we whisper B-U-G?>, and blindly adds 2 blank pages to the chapter. The way to delete these kinds of pages is to: <ul> 1. Open the recalcitrant chapter. 2. Add a couple of new paragraphs and force them to start at the top of column so that you get 4 pages. 3. Use Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage to specifically apply the default Right/Left master pages to the two new pages, thereby clearing FM's "memory" of the user-defined master pages having been applied previously. 4. Save the chapter. 5. Update the book. 6. Open the chapter again and remove the two new pages. 7. Update the book. 8. <required step>Resume your favorite "don't sweat the small stuff" chant.</required step></ul> Thanks to Sheila Carlisle for her expertise on this issue!

Blank Pages Issue

Hopefully I can explain this correctly.
I have a list of documents in a program that connects to crystal using supress formulas (if {?@p6} then false else true)
In Crystal, all pages are set as Report Footers with 1 Page Header and Page Footer.
In order to separate pages, I used the Not OnLastRecord so that there would be no blank pages if someone just clicked on 1 of the 20 options. However, if they select several, the pages combine together (no page break).   Using if TotalPageCount>1 then OnLastRecord on New Page After formula creates a new page after but the first page is blank if the option is selected alone. It seems I can either have one or the other.
Any ideas?
Others I've tried:
New Page After :     if TotalPageCount>1 then Not OnLastRecord          Combines pages (but no blank first page)
New Page After :     if TotalPageCount=1 then Not OnLastRecord          Combines pages (but no blank first page)
New Page Before:      if TotalPageCount=1 then Not OnLastRecord          Blank first page
New Page Before:      if TotalPageCount=1 then OnLastRecord          Blank first page
New Page Before:     if TotalPageCount=1 then Not OnFirstRecord          Blank first page
New Page Before:     if TotalPageCount=1 then OnFirstRecord          Blank first page
New Page Before:     if TotalPageCount>1 then Not OnLastRecord          Blank first page
New Page Before:     if TotalPageCount>1 then OnLastRecord          Blank first page
New Page Before:     if TotalPageCount>0 then OnLastRecord          Blank first page
New Page Before:     if TotalPageCount>0 then Not OnLastRecord          Blank first page
New Page Before:     Not OnLastRecord                         Blank first page
New Page Before:     OnLastRecord                              Blank first page
New Page Before:     Not OnFirstRecord                         Blank first page
New Page Before:     OnFirstRecord                              Blank first page

Blank page issue in adobe forms

dear expert,
i have pdf form of 13 pages having many subforms in one of the subforms i am adding the row dynamically by a button add button . The row is being added but what is problem,when addition of row reaches to end of page it creates the blank page before the subform when page break happens during the addition..
how to resolve it
its argent..
Regards
Jitendra

hi henniger
Thanks for reply
you are absolutely right i have done a mistake .
The mistake was ,i have added a subform2 after the subform1 form, in which i am adding the rows dynamically , and i have set the property of subform2 that keep with previous. thats why it was happening when the no of rows in subform1 reaches at end of page since subform2 property is keep with previous and contents of subform2 are not able to fit on the current page then it will create a blank page and when in the subform1 no rows are not able to fit on current page it will do page break and subform 2 will be shifted to blank page..
for removing the mistake i unchecked the property keep with previous.
Regards
Jitendra

Printer prints blank pages

I received a message low toner. Before I replaced the toner the printer printed blank pages. After I replaced the toner, the printer printed for awhile the same day and now prints blank pages. I took out the toner and moved it back and forth and replaced it and still nothing on the paper. Do I need a new printer? Thanks, Sally

Regarding blank pages printing:
Which printer model do you have?
Does it print a blank self-test page?
What operating system are you printing from, and what application (if not all apps)?
What driver are you using?
More info from you will help us offer suggestions to resolve the blank pages issue.
We enjoy helping if we can, as these forums have helped us frequently.

Table every row in new pages leaves a blank page at the end.

Hi All,
I have a nested table in a output form.
All I have in this form is a nested table nothing else.
as per the requirement to have every new row in a new page, I set the after parameter to next page / next content area for the parent row pagination.
Now the result is if I have 5 rows, it creates 6 pages document where each row in each page and the last page is blank.
I understand that the after parameter is intended to move to next page immediately after publishing each row, but how can I stop it at the last instance. or how can I overcome this blank page issue.
If somebody has already gone through this, please share the solution with me.
Thanks in advance,
Sai

After a long and annoying series of attempts and consulting your links, nancy, there has been no change. The page breaks works in internet explorer and google chrome but when i go to print in safari there are all type of blank page scattered about. Please open up this link in safari, http://onlinedevelopments.com/backend/csrSafetyServices.php?
then go to print, and see the problem. I don't know what to do.

Print scaleType:showAll, generates 2 pages, the correct page and one blank page

Hello,
So I have a the following function:
private function printJobCreator():void{
var printJob:FlexPrintJob=new FlexPrintJob();
printJob.start();
printJob.addObject(printableInvoice, "showAll");
printJob.send();
invoiceIndex++;
printAll();
It seems to kind of work. However when it prints, it creates one page that is the right page, and one page that is blank. This isn't going to work for me because I have to run batches of many pages, so having every other page as a blank page isn't an option.
Additionally, my goal was to print multiple pages in one printJob for batch reports. This unfortunately doesn't seem like it is going to work. I was able to make a component that essentially would repeat container.addChild(printableInvoice) for each index in an object, each printableInvoice containing some dynamic concept, however I can't for the life of me get it to print like this.
So the current solution is annoying because for each invoice you have to go through the print dialogue again. Any Ideas? I realized I could do multiple printJob.addObject() calls, but this doesn't work for me because of the blank page issue.... So I either need to solve the blank page issue or generate a UI object that has multiple printableInvoices in it and print that UI object.
Any help?
Joel

This is the flow, I don't see how it could be adding twice. The important stuff happens when the printAll(); function is run.

Hotmail opens as a blank page in firefox

Hello,
I started having a problem opening hotmail a few days ago using firefox. When I click on www.hotmail.com it opens as a blank page with no error message. I can open it in IE but I don't use that browser as it is too slow for me. I have followed all suggestions including, clearing cookies, cache, plugins, downloaded latest version of firefox and I still can not open hotmail. Please can someone help me? Thank you

This happens to me intermittently. Some days, I can login fine other days, all I get is a blank browser page. Works fine in Safari and Chrome. But all issues happen under Firefox. However, if I try enough times, and at some point just let the blank page just sit there (for as long as a couple of hours), Hotmail eventually loads up. Perhaps, just a coincidence. That an underlying issue that comes up from time to time, gets resolved with no notification to us. None of the tips have resolved this blank page issue, as well as not seeing the buttons at the top (ie. Reply, Forward, Delete, Archive, etc...) They get cut off. Only way to seem to view them is if you increase the font size in preferences, but then all the fonts in all webpages get huge. Also the AddThis plugin doesn't work well with the new Hotmail (Outlook.com). When you choose Hotmail as an email to send the link to (using AddThis), it takes you to an error page. Any other email client works AddThis fine. ie. AOL, Yahoo and Gmail.
Personally, I think this is a Microsoft issue with Outlook.com, that Firefox has not been able to address.

Blank page - Adobe central 5.7

we are migrating the servers and output central server from 5.5 to 5.7. We've configured all the jobs and tasks similar to the current servers. we are facing the blank page issue in the new server which is using Adobe central server 5.7. We use dat file as well as xml file format as the trasaction file. It merges and prints the template correctly in the new server but it is printing one extra blank page at the end with only one character for ex,D or C or A in that page. We never face any such issues in the current servers. we dint change the dat file format.
Current Server - Adobe central server 5.5
New server - Adobe Central server 5.7
Could you please help me to resolve this issue? How to trace the root cause of this problem ?
Thanks in Advance

I've compared the jfmerge.ini, jfserver.ini and jfserver.jmd in the new server with the current server and most of the properties looks similar. I've tried the below things but we end-up with the same blank page issue with one Character.
1) We've copied the jfserver.ini file from the current server ( central server 5.5) to the new server (central server 5.7 ) and imported the transaction file.
2) Compiled the templates in Output Designer 5.7 and imported the same into forms directory.
3) Used the command line program options to load the template during calling -q and -afx.
We do stop and start adobe server for each change. Could you please tell me what are all the settings thats needs to be considered during the migration of Adobe Output Designer 5.5 to Adobe Output Designer 5.7 ?
Its Urgent.. Thanks!!

Safari displays blank pages for some sites

MBP 15 inch. mid-2014
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Safari Version 8.0.2 (10600.2.5)
Some pages, sometimes on Apple's on support site simply display as blank pages. The same page displays perfectly on Firefox or Chrome. What is this strange behaviour? For example, this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15327 shows a completely blank page. See: http://i.imgur.com/PRPWgus.png
The same site displays without problem in Firefox:
http://i.imgur.com/82lEuaF.png
I have no extensions installed in Safari. JS is enabled, all settings are default. This is a fresh and clean install of Yosemite. No anti-virus installed.
What's going on? Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks.

As an aside, and I don't have specific data for this, but Safari does seem to load some other pages so slowly, it's annoying to the extreme.
How can I debug this? (The blank page issue.)

Framemaker 8. Landscape Chapters adding blank page every other page.

Hi,
I am currently using FrameMaker 8 to create my book. I have multiple chapters, both Landscape and Portrait. I use Framescript > Scripts > Insert Reports to insert PDF documents into my chapters. I have an excel spreadsheet that has two columns code/pdf file name that the Framscript uses to insert the report. I insert a code into the chapter, and from that code it references the matching PDF file to insert.
I have been running this without any issues until now, because now in the Landscape chapters it is adding a blank page between all my pages. So every other page is blank. For example if the PDF file had 2 pages now I have 2 pages and 2 blank pages. On the blank page I do have a symbol (RS Report Spacer) that appears. I could delete it and the blank page goes away. But this can be troublesome since I have hundreds of pages and every time I run my book the blank pages will reappear.
I have tried Pagination to delete blank pages but to no avail. It does not delete the blank page. The weird part is that for my Portrait chapters this problem does not occur. I am writing this with a small glimmer of hope somebody can help me.
Thank you in advance,
Dan

Hello there @sirknite ,
I read your post about your printing out blank pages from your Windows 8 system however, this issue does not occur on another PC. In the details you have mentioned, it seems to be an issue with the software on your Windows 8 system, as the other computer does not have a problem. To test this theory, try printing from another program to see if blank pages will still print out. This way, we will know if the problem is originating in one specific program, or in the printer driver.
Skipping ahead a little bit, try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Try printing again, and if any blank pages still print out, try Uninstalling the Printer Software, restarting the computer completely, and download and reinstall the printer here: HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers
Please write me back with your findings and all of the results from your troubleshooting. Include which programs you have tested out and any other helpful information you may have came across.
Happy New Year!

I am trying to print a booklet. I have printed it several times without issue. Now when I print, it gives me one blank page or else 2 out of my 8 pages?

I am trying to print a booklet. I have printed it several times with no issues. Now when I try to print it (with no changes in the program) it will either give me a blank page or will print one of my pages (there are 8 pages total). Any help?

No I didn't even read through your post, to long.
You said that "No matter what program I try to install, as soon as the installer opens it crashes". Were you talking about the install for this/these 3D programs or ANY program? As it is worded it sounded like ANY program. That tells me there is a problem with your Mac, software or hardware.
Now you say others install programs, which is it. Programs other then the 3D ones install or no programs install?
Could simply be your Mac is to old to run these programs and the installer knows that. You never said what model or year Mac it is.

BI 7.0 Analysis Authorization issue: some reports displaying a blank page.

Hi All,
This is regarding BI 7.0 Analysis Authorization issue.
Overview:
we have restricted some queries at infoobject level.
Issue:
a. For some of the queries, we can see the selection screen but when we try to execute the query by clicking on the execute button (Queries WAD) we get a blank page, meaning nothing is displayed on the output (white/Blank screen).
b. When we execute the same query through RSRT, we get a message which says "Disconnecting from BW server..".
c. Let me explain further on this. Basically we are doing this in order to have limited access to Auditors at the client side. At the same time normal users should not get impacted due to this, hence we created two roles. One for normal users and other for Auditors.
d. Now the thing is that we execute the same report with normal user ID's the report executes properly and displays the output. it does not show the blank page.
e. But when we execute the same report with Auditors ID then we get a blank page.
Any idea why this is so?

Hi Neha,
I tried the below also,
GL Acnt
I EQ 0000134010
I EQ :
but still it didn't work.
No Infoobject is missing in Authorization Object.
For your point, "rsecadmin - > analysis -> execute as -> check for the desired user & analyze the log" it didnu2019t allow me to analyze, since as soon as click on execute button a pop-up comes up saying "Disconnecting from the BW server..."
As mentioned earlier also it is giving me the below message,
""I>> Row: 103 Inc: AUTHORITY_02 Prog: CL_RSR_RRK0_AUTHORIZATION RS_EXCEPTION 301CL_RSR_RRK0_AUTHORIZATION AUTHORITY_02"
Kindly suggest, since this is a show-stopper for us!
Thanks,
Ishdeep Kohli.

Issues after upgrading to SP2 mm: Blank page first page.

Hello, ever since upgrading to mm sp2 on .net 2008 I been having an issue. I created a new project and everything done by the books. When I run the report through the browser everything initially seems normal, it asks for input parameters then login info. When the report is ready to be displayed, the page is blank but has all the Crystal toolbars and such. If i were to perform an action like hit the zoom button, the report will magically be displayed! It seems the viewer has an issue initially rendering the report until I hit something on the toolbar like the zoom button. I just zoom in 100% and the report displays! Anyone have this issue and know how to resolve it?
If I were to export this blank page to PDF, the report will be displayed on the PDF correctly. just strange.
Thanks in advanace.

Copy the CrytalReportViewers12 folder from your development computer to the \aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727 in the IIS default website.
If you are using ReportRefresh, comment that out.
Try a different Browser like Firefox.
Are you browsing from the work station or from the Server? Can you try it from the Server?
Try a new test app. Run a saved data report (Crviewer1.reportsource). Do not use sessions or postbacks. Does this test app work?
