Flare does not insert empty pages (for me)

Post by oleksandr_kokoshyn »

Hi,

I would appreciate if someone could point me at what I'm missing.
Flare does not insert empty pages in the PDF output.
I have the following setup:
* Page layout has the following pages: Normal, Empty. Empty has type Empty.
* In the TOC: chapter breaks on all root topics, "Auto-end" enabled.
Untitled01.png
* In the target: "Inject empty pages" enabled.

The new chapter pages still start on the left, Flare does not insert empty pages.
What am I doing wrong?

It doesn't sound like you have left and right pagination going on.
If you have a left page and a right page in your page layout can you start on a right page and insist on ending on a left page (or not).
If your page type is normal for every page there is no left or right distinction.

I would add that the best way to add blank pages as needed is to use the tick box on the target, under Advanced, in the Empty Page Handling section, which says 'Inject empty pages as needed to ensure TOC nodes start on their selected pages'. This will override the rest. It is the newer way to do this (only introduced a few versions ago).

Thank you!

I'm experimenting with Left/Right page types now.
