PDDocDeletePages causing blank page that is "in use" to appear

[Andy24242931vrvh]

I am running the code below to attempt to remove a page I created and added a legend to. It gets no error. I created a test file that only had one page and a legend. If I step in the debugger, I see the scroll bar change as if there is no second page and then change back. the second page is now a blank page and does not have the legend content. The bookmark is gone. If I attempt to delete the pag in the UI, I get an error indicating the page is in use. If I save and close thfile, then reopen it, I still get an error saying the page is in use if I try to delete it in the UI.

void RemoveLegendBookmark(PDDoc pdDoc)

{

DURING

// We make top-level bookmarks only, so add a new bookmark to the root

PDBookmark bmRoot, bmNode;

bmRoot = PDDocGetBookmarkRoot(pdDoc);

if (PDBookmarkHasChildren(bmRoot))

{

bmNode = PDBookmarkGetByTitle(bmRoot, pOptions->LegendBookmarkTitle.c_str(), pOptions->LegendBookmarkTitle.length(), -1);

if(PDBookmarkIsValid(bmNode))

{

// get the action for the current bookmark

PDAction bookmarkAction = PDBookmarkGetAction(bmNode);

// get the view destination for the current bookmark's action

PDViewDestination bookmarkViewDestination = PDActionGetDest(bookmarkAction);

bookmarkViewDestination = PDViewDestResolve(bookmarkViewDestination, pdDoc);

ASInt32 pageNum;

ASAtom fitType;

ASFixedRect destRect;

ASFixed zoom;

PDViewDestGetAttr(bookmarkViewDestination, &pageNum, &fitType, &destRect, &zoom);

PDViewDestDestroy(bookmarkViewDestination);

PDBookmarkDestroy(bmNode);

PDDocDeletePages(pdDoc, pageNum, pageNum, NULL, NULL);

}

}

a follow up...
If I create the legen, then add a page after it, then remove the legend (with code above) the blank page is appended; it does not repleace thone I am deleting. I think the delete works, but for some reason is triggering something that appends a page.
