Unwanted blank page

While working on one of the pages or the Master Page (I'm not sure which), in my document, I inadvertently typed a sequence of keys or clicked with my mouse on an option that some how ads a new page to my document every time I add a new element to the document. By the time I realized what I had done it was too late to hit Undo. So now whenever I add a new element, or copy & paste an existing element I end up with an extra page in the document where that element is placed. If I move the element to where I want it, I can not go back and delete the blank page. Anyone know what I may have done wrong or how I can get LC to stop adding the extra pages (or even delete the blank pages)? Thanks! Daniel

I have the same problem, but the suggested solutions did not work.
I have two master pages -- Portrait and Landscape.
Pages 1-4 of my form uses the portrait master page. Page 5 uses the landscape master page. I am getting a blank, landscape page between pages 4 and 5.
The hierarchy view shows:
form1
master pages
PortraitMaster
content area
LandscapeMaster
content area
(untitled Subform) (Page 1)
(untitled Subform) (Page 2)
(untitled Subform) (Page 3)
(untitled Subform) (Page 4)
(untitled Subform) (Page 5)
But in both Design View and PDF Preview, I get an extra, blank page between pages 4 and 5.
I have tried lots of different settings in the pagination tabs for pages 4 and 5, but can't get that blank page to disappear.
I am a newb, so I could be missing something basic.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If anyone's willing to take a look at my file I would be greatly appreciative.

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

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..

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.

Unwanted Blank pages in smartform

Q=> I have created a smartform where i have given the condition for 3rd and 4th pages when the condition does not satisfies it gives blank pages in preview.

Hi,
Check where did you specified the conditions..you might probably specified on the windows.
Use Command to trigger the 3rd and 4th page instead of calling from previous pages. You can put the condition while using Command.

"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.

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???

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.

Second master page displays as a blank page

Hi,
just wondering if there is a work around for the following scenario:
I have two different master pages (1 & 2) that are used to create two different page standards. I have two body pages (A & B ). Page A is placed on master page 1 and Page B is place on master page 2.
Depending on the type of data that comes into the form, I have two possible scenarios that will be rendered. For one user, I want to display and print body page A & B. For a second user, I want to display only body page A.
The problem arises when, for the second user, I hide body page B, however, an unwanted blank page appears on the form. This is a result of having two master pages, and not having subforms present on one of the master pages.
So, is there a way to render a form that has a master page with no subforms so that I don't see this extra page.
OR, a way to determine if a page is blank so that I can avoid printing it.
thanks,
John

I found an example that stops a subform from rendering if there is no data. See: Program Files\Adobe\Designer\EN\Samples\E-Ticket
However, all of my subforms have data, it is just that some is not relevant to some people.
I just found a solution that works ok. I set the relevant property to "-print" for the appropriate subForm.

Blank Page Issues 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!

When I open a new Tab, it's filled with an unwanted site. How do I open a blank page in a new Tab?

Seems like an unscrupulous web site had made itself the default New Tab location. Every time I open a new tab, the unscrupulous site appears. I simply want a blank page when I open a new tab. How do I get rid of this "default" new tab setting?

See:
*[[/questions/981200]] get rid of outfox.tv in tab
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Opening a new tab loads an unwanted website instead of a blank page or my home page

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/808918]''
Sometime in the last two weeks firefox stopped opening a blank page when I open a new tab, and instead is now opening yahoo.
I HATE yahoo with a passion and even after going through the programs thing and deleting any yahoo programs as well as going through registry of my computer and deleting everything related to yahoo it STILL opens #$^@#&#$^& yahoo in a new tab and so far as i can tell there is no setting in firefox to make it stop doing that!
Any ideas?

The Freeze.com NetAssistant is responsible for this issue and you need to uninstall (or at least disable) that extension.

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?
