Empty pages in FM15 upon saving the file

[danielac69501852]

Hi,

We just created a new template and all of a sudden when we import the new layout to a current document, i get empty pages and no matter what i do, i cannot delete them. They are added every time i save a file or refresh the book.

Please HELP

You've posted to the Forum Lounge, a non-software-specific hangout on the Adobe forums.

Which program are you using?

That will allow a moderator to move your post to the correct forum for your software.

Sorry about that, Framemaker 15

This may help. I wrote it for my students a while back but the information is still valid in FrameMaker 2015:

It sounds like it is the first scenario, but come back and let us know if this doesn't solve it for you.

I just re-read that post for the first time in a while. I need to add that you can select the files in the book window, right+click and set the Pagination for the entire book at one time. I'm guessing I wrote that to address a student question about working with individual chapters and did not address handling it at the book level.

Yes i set the pagination for the whole book, still didn't help

I already tried your suggestions as explained in the article but unfortunately that did not solve my issue.

Ok, so we need more information to help. Start by opening one of the problem chapters and navigate to the first blank page.

• What master page is it using? (Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage)
• What is the page number?
• How many pages are being added when you save?
• What is the text flow tag? (i.e., A, B... Click in the template frame to see the answer in the status bar)
• What is Before Saving & Printing set to in Format > Page Layout > Pagination?
• Where is the end of flow marker: §?

thanks for all the patience
