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>
Thanks for the help, I have my own .xsl stylesheet already so I added your suggested code to it and it works fine. It would only work with the code - <xsl:template name="book.titlepage.separator"/> - and not the other stuff, I already have the other lines in my .xsl. But what I don't understand is why that one line does anything at all? I don't see anything there to tell the processor to do anything. I must not be understanding it correctly. So, here's another one I hope can be fixed by just adding a bit of code to the .xsl - How do I define a smaller size font for chapter titles? I found some info in the Docbook manual, chapter 5, on customizing Docbook, but that looks way too complicated for what I want to do. Regards, Chip
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:

Best regards, Sorin

When I create a .pdf from my file I get an extra page that contains
horizontal line at the top and bottom of the page. This page is always
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
only a the page
be a blank toc?
