Converting to PDF and Deleting New Page Section Breaks
I have been working on a document for weeks now with the intent of converting
it to a PDF. When I do convert it (by "printing" as flashpaper and then saving as a PDF), blank pages keep popping up. I figured out that the "blank pages" are actually "New Page Section Breaks," however, attempting to remedy this has proved to be frustrating and without reason. If I attempt delete the section break, it of course alters the section along with headers and footers and page number. If I attempt to change the type of section break, like to a "continuous" section break (which does not show up as blank pages in converting it to PDF), the app simply will not allow me to do it. I've tried inserting new "continuous" section breaks, then deleting the "new page" section break to no avail. It won't delete. Save starting all over, is there some else I can do? |

Converting to PDF and Deleting New Page Section Breaks
First thing first, why are you not "printing" to PDF directly from Word if
you have the software to do so? With the "New Page Section Breaks", have you inserted these for a specifc reason, ie to allow different headers and footers? If that is so, you require these breaks to allow the changes in H&Fs. If you don't require different H&Fs, why not use Format, Paragraph, Page Break Before on the paragraph you want at the start of the new page. This will effectly do the same without the insertion of breaks and this might not affect your "printing". If you require different H&Fs to reflect the Section headings, try using the Field for StyleRef and assign it to the Heading level you wish to appear. These fields automatically change as the headings change, without the need for section breaks. Hope this helps.
