"insert" "section" causes unwanted blank page for numbering

I have a section/page numbering problem.
I want to start page numbering on the 5th page (Chapter One). But.. when I insert a Section Break between the end of the TOC and first Chapter (where I want re-numbering to start) it causes a blank page to be inserted after the TOC and before the section break...
How do I insert a section break between TOC and Heading that's set to "start new page" without getting blank page?

Thanks I've got your file and have fixed it. It had to do with the way you constructed it.
This is how to do what I did after I deleted your existing T.O.C.:
1 click at foot of Title page > Menu > Insert > Section Break
2 Type "Table of Contents" return > Menu > Insert > Table of Contents
3 Menu > Insert > Section Break
If there is a return at the beginning of the Introduction page just delete it.
I also tidied up your layout a bit and have emailed it back.

Unwanted blank pages inserted when creating pdf from scanner

Hello, when creating a pdf from a document scanned via Adobe Acrobat X Pro, the program inserts an unwanted blank page in between each page being scanned. So, if scanning 50 pages, we get 100, etc. How do we remediate this problem? We have worked with the default settings, to no avail. We're using a Fujitsu fi-5530c2 scanner. We would appreciate any input to help resolve this issue! Thanks Mark

Pages '08 creating unwanted sections, cannot delete blank pages

I'm in a bind - and in a rush - and Pages is misbehaving. I've been duplicating pages in the thumbnail viewer to maintain formatting, and then replacing text in text boxes. Suddenly, when I go to duplicate a page, Pages creates a section with a blank page attached and I cannot get rid of the blank page. When I try to delete the blank page, it also deletes a page of content.
This is frustrating, and I really need to get this project to the printer tomorrow.
Thoughts?

If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.

Blank pages for all applications in Manager Self Service (MSS) role

Hi Experts,
We are newly implementing ESS/MSS and deployed ESS/MSS business packages with following BP's
BP ERP05 COMMON PARTS 1.51 SP5
BPERPESSWDA 1.50 SP5
BP ERP05 MSS 1.51 SP5
after deploying above BP's all ESS applications working fine, but in MSS role all applications(Team,Budget, Projects and Planning) giving me blank page.
for example..MSS>TeamEmployee Information--> when I click on "General Information,compensation Information links etc.." it is displaying in separate window with blank page. it is not displaying any error, just displaying blank page.
We are using Net Weaver7.3, EHP5 and ECC6. Can any one help out of this?
Thanks in advance,
Janardhan

There are two parts of the Web Dynpro based business package
1. Portal content (iView Page, Role etc) (Starts with BPxxx.sca)
2. Web Dynpro content(MSSxxx.sca)
My guess is you have just deployed the Business package content and not the Web Dynpro content.
Refer to this and deploy the corresponding files

Inserting blank page for ads according to datamerged field.checking for whether a variable exists on

Let me see if I can explain what I am trying to do. I have a script which loops through pages of an indesign document. I use a for loop to do so.
Within each page is a text frame called "Advertising" with a Y or N as the value. If the value is Y, I want to insert a blank page before the page with the advertising field. Within the for loop however, there are calls to other data fields. My issue is that when I add a blank page, and the for loop continues, it errs out because the blank page does not contain the variable fields I am using. (highlights)...
So my question is, how can I cause the for loop to skip the newly inserted page so that the missing variable doesn't cause the script to fail?
should I be checking whether the layer exists then doing something like:
if(newDoc.pages.item(i).pageItems.item("CompanyHighlights").length > 0){}
for(var i = o; i < PageLength-1; i++){
//some kind of check to determine whether it's a blank page, or a page with the variable.
     if(newDoc.pages.item(i).pageItems.item("CompanyHighlights").length > 0){
          var highlights= newDoc.pages.item(i).pageItems.item("CompanyHighlights").contents;
          var advertising = newDoc.pages.item(i).pageItems.item("Advertising").contents;
          if(advertising == "Y")
               //add blank page before this page

Thanks Hans, I actually got it working last night: I had to run a double if statement to check the Master page and move the counter var to a global var, and then add 1 to the counter "i" since I was adding a page, and add 1 to the PageLength so the for loop can continue on the pages that were moved ahead a page number by adding a page...not the best solution, but it works and I'm on a deadline. Thank you for trying to help though.
//make i a global variable
var i = 0;
for(i = 0; i < PageLength-1; i++){
//define master page of current page in the loop
var masterpage = newDoc.pages.item(i).appliedMaster.name;
//if its C-Master, skip it
    if(masterpage != "C-Master"){
       //if it contains the merged Advertising field add a page
      var advertising = newDoc.pages.item(i).textFrames.item("Advertising").contents;
          if(advertising == "Y")
               //Add a page.
               newDoc.pages.add(LocationOptions.before, newDoc.pages.item(i) );
               newDoc.pages.item(i).appliedMaster =app.activeDocument.masterSpreads.item("C-Master");
               i=i+1;
               PageLength = PageLength+1;
var masterpageAgain = newDoc.pages.item(i).appliedMaster.name;
            if(masterpageAgain != "C-Master"){
               var highlights=newDoc.pages.item(i).textFrames.item("CompanyHighlights").contents;

Apps being moved around with sync - unwanted blank page inserted

Ever since I bought a few new apps (craigspro+, vision test, etc, nothing too big or fancy) last night, when I sync my phone with my iTunes, it moves all the apps around, inserts a blank page onto my phone, and most of my new apps are inserted on a page AFTER the blank page and therefore I can't reach them once the phone is disconnected from my iMac and in hand. I've tried restoring, I've tried manually moving them all around in iTunes, and every time i hit "Apply" they bounce back to where the computer wants them and I can't even reach the new apps. What's up and how do I fix this???

Unwanted blank pages appearing in copy function

The new iWork 08 book says if you want to add pages to an already existing document then click on the thumbnail of the one you want to add and copy, and then click on the thumbnail of main one you want to add TO and paste. This ALWAYS brings up a blank page in between them that can not be deleted?????????? Pretty useless. Any ideas?

I assume that both of your documents are in fine shape before you try to combine them. No extraneous break commands, blank sheets, etc., both documents fitting well within their margin boundaries.
I'm having success, but I'm not doing exactly what you say you are. I copy a page from the thumbnail in the Source Document's Pages Pane. I then Paste into the blank lower portion of the Destination Document's Pages Pane, not directly onto a Thumbnail there.
When I do this, a Section Break is added at the end of the Destination Document's original content, so the added content starts on a new page. Deleting the Section Break moves the new content up adjacent to the original Destination Document's content.
You might give this method a try and see if it works for you.

Unwanted blank pages appearing in 7.0.5 (but working in 9)

I'm trying to create a form which has a front page and three optional additional sections that appear when the respective buttons are clicked. I need the form to work in Reader 7.0.5
I've got it working just fine in LiveCycle 8.2 and Acrobat 9, but when it is opened in Reader 7.0.5 three blank pages appear after the front page, and as the optional sections are opened, they replace/fill-up these blank pages.
Any help would be most gratefully received!
Details:
The form is targeted to 7.0.5 and saved as a dynamic XML form.
I am not seeing any warnings, but when switching to Preview PDF, I do see the following under the log:
"Invalid version: the current version of the XFA template model exceeds the capability of Acrobat/Adobe Reader 7.0.5"
The buttons to reveal the page have the following formcalc scripts:
Form.Top.OnePager.FrontPage.MoreInfoButton.Hide::click - (FormCalc, client)
MoreInformation.presence = "hidden"
Hide.presence = "hidden"
Show.presence = "visible"
Form.Top.OnePager.FrontPage.MoreInfoButton.Hide::initialize - (FormCalc, client)
MoreInformation.presence = "hidden"
Hide.presence = "hidden"
Show.presence = "visible"
etc

Could be caused by many reasons.
Is the paragraph format set to skip a line the first time it is printed (SPACE AFTER setting)?
Is the data causing it to overflow across the line?
Is there a line feed in the actual SAPscript (like a "/" paragraph format)?

If I duplicate a page in pages, it adds an unwanted blank page in between

Can anyone help?
I need to duplicate page 1. If I show the thumbnails view - duplicate page, instead of just adding an identical page 2 - it adds a blank page 2 and then identical page 3. Then on the thumbnail view, both page 1 and 2 have the yellow box round them as if linked. If I try to delete page 2 it deletes page 1 too.
What is going wrong and why is it adding a blank page in between? I've even tried to do it as a Capture Page and add it as a section, but that again adds the blank page.
It is most frustrating!
thanks

Denniknak,
The yellow box does indicate a linkage. I shows you that all the pages in the box are in the same Section. Individial pages are shown as icons in the thumbnail pane, but there is nothing you can do with individual pages there. Entire Sections can be Copied, Pasted, Deleted or Duplicated. Not so with individual pages. To delete a Page, delete the content of that page, or isolate the page with Section Breaks and delete the isolated page as a section. To add a page, insert a Page Break, or a pair of them. Or, insert a Section Break or a pair of Section Breaks. I think you get the idea.

Hidden Layers printing unwanted blank pages.

When I use layers to hide portions of a document that I do not want to print all is well on pages that only include hidden layers and these pages do not print UNTIL I add page numbers to the document, and then all pages print - including the ones that only include hidden layers, and these pages are blank except for the page number. I do need the page numbers included - so is there any way to not print pages that only have a page number on them?

Have you considered using Conditional Text for the answers?
I am not familiar with conditional text – I will need to investigate.
It's not clear to me, either what the numbering scheme here might be. In the teacher's edition, do the pages with the answers get numbered in sequence, or do they have a special numbering system applied?
Good question – In the teacher’s Answer Key I could go either way. My first choice would for the pages to be numbered sequentially with the first printable non-blank page to be #1. If the pages printed with the same page numbers that they have in the book that would not be the end of the world, there would be gaps in the page numbers for the non-printed chapter content – either way I don’t want the blank hidden content pages to be included in the document.
If they are numbered in sequence, how do you synchronize numbering between the two editions if you don't include blank pages?
Sequencing and synchronizing page numbers is not a significant problem – the instructor is just glad to have the answers and they do not care a lot about how the pages are numbered. However, having said that it would be really nice if a future version of InDesign Books could create both sequential page numbers and a Table of Contents for only the printed pages in an output document that would have layers that are not hidden.
How is this bound? And how is it printed? Changing the page counts can be problematic unless the answer pages can be tipped in at binding.
We deliver all of our documents electronically on CDs as PDF files so binding and printing are not problems for us.

Inserting section title on each page

Is there a way to insert the title of the section automitacally at top (or bottom) of each page?
When I insert "section title," it actually inserts the "book title," from the document section of the inspector.
Thanks.

I'm using my own, simple template. I've created a template for all sections, and a template for the pages in each section, to which I've attached the name of that section in the header.
The odd thing is that if I go into the "book" section and pick a page template on which I've put a text box as a header, I can double-click the textbox and I'm given an option to "insert section title and/or number." That would suggest that I can have the section name in the header of each page in the section, but somehow I've not made the correct link, and all I get when I click "insert section name" is the name of the book.
For now, I'm not going into this further: Either I really don't understand the method behind the organization of these templates, or there the method isn't worked out. I'm sure I've missed something, but can't spend the time figuring it out, so I've done it manually. More digging around is just taking time away from me and also bothering helpful people like you.
Thanks very much for the input.

Unwanted Blank Page When Table At Bottom of First Page

I have an RTF template which has a table with the typical for loop as the row generator and a totals row after that. There are no line breaks after the table, and the table's paragraph is set to single line spacing with 0 pt spacing before and after.
When the table reaches the bottom of the first page, but does NOT go onto the next page, there is a blank page at the end of the report. Any ideas on how to eliminate this?
Thanks in advance,
Kurz

I have an rtf template which is used to print output in pdf format. I have a table which has many rows which displays data for each record. In order to avoid breaking the page in between the rows of a record , i have added an outer table with single row and column and pasted the data table inside it and changed the row property of outer table to 'Allow Rows to Break Across Pages' to unchecked. It works fine only if the first record set length does not exceed a full page. IF the first record expanded to more than one page, it leaves a blank page at the very first and start the record at the second page. Can you please advise how to solve this issue. Its very URGENT please..

Is it possible to insert (or add) a blank page into the middle of an existing chapter of a book created with iBooks Author?

I have one LONG chapter in my book and feel is necessary to make some edits that include additional pages within the chapter itself. But when I INSERT a page or press the +Page prompt as I have my chapter open to the place I wish to insert a page, the new page appears only at the END of the chapter and not at the point within the chapter that I would want the new blank page to appear. What gives? Another under developed software bug, or....?
Anyone else have the same issue and has been able to overcome it?

A new page is always dropped at the end. The only option I have found is simply to copy and paste everything down one - or as you want to adapt it. I assume its not a text only book or the text would flow and add pages as required.
Its not a bug or under developed.... its the Apple Way

Blank page for PDF Report

I have a XML report with header and footer and repeatable details. When the number of the detail transactions just fit in one page, a blank page will be printed as the last page.
In the first field pf the detail line I have the xml code as
<?for-each:G_LINE?><?sort:ITEM_CODE;'ascending';data-type='text'?><?sort:LOT_NUMBER;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
In the last field of the detail line
<?end for-each?>
Does anyone know how to suppress the blank page? Thanks in advance.
Regards
Lawrence

Simple check :
1) Check your rtf template, if that has extra carriage return after last code line.
If your last code line is <?end for-each?> then check carriage return.
2) If your RTF template has empty page.
