Blank pages in pdf file!?!

I just created a 100-page book with 567 photos. All looks well in iPhoto, but when I "order" the book and then look at the generated pdf file, the first 74 pages look fine, but pages 75 to 100 are blank! I've repeated this process several times and each time the results are the same.
Anyone have any idea why and what I can do about these blank pages? I'd like to submit the book to Apple as soon as possible, but I don't want to take a chance of receiving a book with 25 blank pages.
Thanks!

Hi!
I'm using the Picture Book theme. And after much tinkering, I think I've found the problem -- and the solution.
Remembering posts from some time ago discussing ways to improve the quality of the printed photos -- including tweaking the iphoto prefs file -- I used the Property List Editor app to check my book settings (BookTargetDPI-BookTargetMediumIMageDPI-BookTargetSmallImageDPI). The three items were all set to 300. I reduced them to 250 each, then tried 'ordering' the book again. Lo, and behold, there were now 20 fewer blank pages. So I set about playing with different combinations of settings, trying to find the optimum resolutions that would print all 100 pages. I've ended up with something like 250-220-220.
Now I have no idea what these settings actually control, or what the optimum settings would be for this or any other book project, but clearly, they affect how many pages are accepted for printing. While the 300-300-300 settings worked for my last book, that book was only 20 pages. For this current book, those numbers are too high.
I looked at many of the other posts in this forum and wonder if those having trouble with blank pages haven't also played with these settings. I tried moving the iPhoto prefs file out of the Library/Preferences folder in order to force iPhoto to create a new file with default settings, and discovered that 150-150-300 seem to be Apple's preferred settings. But the very first book I ordered from Apple, which used those settings, was a bit disappointing in terms of resolution. Hence my boosting of these numbers for the second book.
The problem of blank pages could also have something to do with file size. At the higher resolutions, the generated pdf file tipped the scales at a beefy 193 MB, but at the lower resolutions, the pdf file is a relatively svelte 133 MB. There might be some limitation built into iPhoto to prevent people from trying to send1 GB pdf files to Apple's printers.
In my case at least, the problem is NOT related to the number of photos I'm using. After playing with the numbers, I actually went back and added a dozen more photos, pushing the total to 587 across 100 pages. And with the new resolutions, all photos on all pages print fine.
I wish I knew what all of this meant and how it could be used to predict iPhoto's book creation behavior, but at least I'll be able to print this book now.
Thanks for your quick reply! Hope my experiences help someone else with similar problems.

Officejet 6500 prints 1 blank page from pdf files and nothing else

We just installed this printer. It prints from websites, word, quickbooks just fine. It also successfully copies and faxes. When we try to print from a adobe pdf attachment it prints one blank page and that is all. This also happens when we try to print from googledocs.
Thanks!

The problem with the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' is when my spool have more than 99 pages. In this case, the FM generate a backscreen job (sm37) to convert my spool and generate a binary PDF spool.
After this step, the 'FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' send an e-mail with the binary PDF File recovered in the spool list but i can't open the file with Adobe Reader because the format is wrong.
Someone knows how could i convert my big spool list to PDF file to send it by e-mail adress ?
Thanks a lot for your precious help that i need so much !

I recently signed up for a one month trial of adobe pro. I logged in. I cannot convert a single page of PDF file to word or Excel with this trial. I just get the request to sign up for a year. What good is the trial if I can't try it?

Hey vcomfort6,
Please ensure that you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Reader to convert PDF file to word or excel.
Could you tell me whether it is a scanned document? Does this happen with all PDFs or any specific one?
Do you get any error message? What exactly happens when you try doing the same?
Hope to hear from you.

I like to edit single letter in the pdf file having more then 1000 page, Example "T" in place of "V" in all the 1000 pages in pdf file. Please let me know

I like to edit single letter in the pdf file having more then 1000 page, Example "T" in place of "V" in all the 1000 pages in pdf file. Please let me know !

In a PDF you can´t change single letter.
You can only try to convert the PDF document into a Word document.
Now you can search and replace a letter.

There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

You need run OCR first using Acrobat, then you should be able to highlight text.

Can't delete blank page in combined files PDF

I combined a number of files to create a new PDF binder in Acrobat X, then added a blank page in the middle using Tools > More Insert Options > Insert blank page. I later decided I didn't need the blank page and tried to delete it but received this error message:
One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted.
I gave up, trashed the PDF, and started all over again. But the new binder included the blank page in the same spot, and it won't let me delete it! I tried creating the PDF using my old Acrobat Pro 8. It created the file correctly, but when I closed the file and reopened it, it opened in Acrobat X - with the blank page again! How do I get rid of the blank page?

Open the file in Acrobat, delete the blankpage, and save the file.

I use iMac desktop. I can't save web pages as PDF file by using Firefox, but by Safari is fine.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4. Today, I tried to save my email content as a PDF file. However, I only got a PDF file that have partial content of email. Then I adjust the printer setting and did it again, then I only got a blank PDF file. There was nothing inside. Then I tried to save email as a PDF file by using Safari browser. And I got a complete and sucessful PDF file. I usually save web pages or web mail, online receipt as PDF file by use Firefox. But since I have updated to the new version, there were many problems with my Firefox. I tried to restore all my application and made Firefox in the old 3.6.3 version which I used to have no problem. But now still not working.

I solved it for myself: it was my HP smart-web printer crap that was a plug in and add on for firefox that somehow automatically got installed when I upgraded to 5. I disabled both in the add-ons manager, and voila, printing is working.
It seems there are many things, like this and the Google toolbar, that were screwed by the oddly fast update to 5. Looks like Mozilla didn't give anybody any notice! Must've been some really bad security hole.

HELP! BLANK PAGES ON PDF

Hi From Paris, France. I need your help, i ceated my 4th book (on iphoto 5.0.4), it's a large one with the maximum pages (100) and around 280 pictures. When i saved it as a pdf file o have a look before ordering, i had the bad surprise to discover lots of blank pages, i tried several times with the same result. After reading the topics in the iphoto 5 forum, i tried to find the prefs to reduce the dpi's from 300 to 230, but apparently it's not possible on Tiger anymore. So i opened some pictures on PS and reduced the dpi and no change! So finally i deleted some pages (thing i really didn't want to do!) & it's better but i still have 2 or 3 blank pages. So my last hope is with you, has someone had this problem + the solution , & what if i buy the last version of iphoto, will it work? Last question, but not least, if i buy the last version when i install it what happens to all my photos & books? I hate apple for offering a book with 100 pages & at the end, when you've spend hours & hourss on it, you discover that the system has a bug!
Many many thanks if someone can help!

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

Blank pages in pdf exported from InDesign

Forgive me if I've already posted this, but I'm new here. All was well with a book project until yesterday when I exported to pdf and two pages came up blank. Why would that be and how can I fix it?

Actually, there is no such set of privileges as preview privileges in terms of embedding. TrueType and OpenType fonts either allow no embedding (the font cannot be embedded within a PDF, EPS, or ePUB file under any condition), preview and print embedding (the font may be embedded, but only for purposes of display and printing - such text within the PDF file may not be edited), or installable embedding (the font may be subsequently installed someplace else).
When you export PDF from InDesign, if the font used within the InDesign document has at least preview and print embedding privileges, it will be embedded within the PDF file. Otherwise, you will likely get a warning from InDesign export as well as a PDF file that does not display properly unless you have those fonts actually installed on the PDF file recipient's computer system.
The way to check as to whether the font is properly embedded in a PDF file is to open the file in Acrobat, press Command D, and click the Fonts tab at the top of the dialog box. Each font referenced in the PDF file is listed. If the font is embedded, it says either Embedded or Embedded Subset along with the font's name. If the font isn't embedded, it will also tell you what font is being used for display, possibly the same font accessed from your installed fonts or perhaps a substitution font.

Opening pages made pdf files

After saving a project in Pages format I often save again as a pdf document and distribute them to others as a pdf document. When I save it as a pdf document using Pages to my desktop, the icon is just a blank square and Pages cannot open its own pdf file?

James,
When I export a document to pdf format, the icon says pdf on it.
Pages doesn't open pdf files. What you're describing is normal behavior. A pdf file should be opened using a pdf browser like Adobe Reader, Acrobat, or Preview.
