Force to 'right page' doesn't seem to work

Post by Eric Lachance »

Hi there!

I'm generating a PDF using a PDF Output type target, and I'm trying to force it to generate blank pages in order for new sections to always be on the right page.

I have page-break-before: right; in the CSS for the H1.Logoheader style and this style is applied to all my headers. When I generate the PDF, there are no blank pages anywhere.

In my Master Page Layout I originally a front and "Normal" page, no right/left. I copied my normal page and put one as Left, the other as Right, and that did nothing to the PDF output - still no blank pages.

Has anyone else ever run into this issue? Using Flare V6.0

Aha! Nevermind all, I found out how to fix it.

I did not have an "Empty" page in the layout, I added it and it works fine.

Unfortunately the documentation was a bit vague in that respect - it says it will add "page breaks" but doesn't say you need to have a page of "Empty" type to do so.

Once you know what you're looking for though, you find the "Specifying Page Types" topic and it becomes a bit clearer.
