Hello Chip, If you are using the Docbook XSL stylesheets and the FOP processor to generate the pdf file the empty page seems to be a bug in FOP. In the XSL-FO file generated by the stylesheets the pages that follow the title and copyright pages start a new page sequence. The FOP processor should not generate an empty page for a break-after property before a new page sequence. To avoid that use in your transformation scenario a Docbook XSL customization layer that replaces the template book.titlepage.separator with an empty template: <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="../frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"/> <xsl:template name="book.titlepage.separator"/> </xsl:stylesheet> I just tried it on a large Docbook document and the empty page is not generated any more. You have to replace the path to the docbook.xsl stylesheet with a valid path on your machine. For instructions about creating and using a Docbook customization layer in <oXygen/> see the demo: http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/DocbookCustomization/docbookCustomization.html Best regards, Sorin Chip Wiegand wrote:
When I create a .pdf from my file I get an extra page that contains only a horizontal line at the top and bottom of the page. This page is always the 3rd page of the document - 1st page - Cover page or Title page 2nd page - Copyright page 3rd page - empty except for two horizontal lines 4th page onwards - chapter 1 and onwards
Is the mostly blank page supposed to be there? If not, what do I do to get rid of it? I just noticed that the toc is not appearing on the page, could this page be a blank toc?
