Question

Front cover inserted at the end of the PDF

Using RH 2019.0.10  -  the front cover of a PDF is inserted at the start of the document AND also at the end of the document. This was not happening in 2019.0.9.

This is messing with the page numbering if I delete the erroneous page so a quick fix is desirable.

 

Is anyone else experiencing it?

 

Thanks

Michelle

Well, it all depends on how the heading styles are used. If each topic has H1, it won't work. But it's quite easy to use the navigation pane in Word to promote or demote a whole bunch of headers at the same time. For instructions on that, see another piece I wrote on Word:

Erwin - Have you tried that in 2019 New UI where there are no chapters?

In 2019 and to the best of my knowledge, both PDF and Word only add topics without the book structure.

 

I guess in  Word you could break the document into sections and apply your own headers to each. That would however be a bit of pain and have to be done every time you generate.

Thank you. I hope this can be done in the future to look more like a document structure without manual editing. Also, adding Chapter numbers.

Are you using the supplied pdf master page and its associated CSS when you generate?

I got it. It's about the page length rather than spaces. Please I have another question, is there a way to insert a field with the Chapter (Book) title in the header of the topics under that book.

For Example:

Chapter/Book 1: Getting Started 

Topic 1 Header: [Getting Started]

 

Chapter/Book 2: Managing Account

Topic 1 Header [Managing Account]

 

I only find fields for the topic title/project title. Appreciate your help

Click the link to the Tracker and you will see a download link there. The Download button centre page might not work but there is another download icon top right.

 

Blank pages in addition to the correct content or instead of. If in addition, make sure you haven't got lots of white space at the end of your topics.

It's in addition. I've removed any extra spaces and still have many blank pages.

Although the Download button does not seem to work, there is a Download icon that does. Click the icon on the left below. You will find it top right.

 

 

To anyone else finding this later, do not use that after Update 11 has been released. The fix will be in that update.
