Title Page not including text

Post by mperaro »

Hi,

I have 9 targets that all build correctly to PDF with the Front_matter with a background image and the PDF_Title.html I created to include text, which is done with attributes.

One is not working. I have checked the setup and matches all the other targets. I am not associating anything with Word.

Attaching the two images of the working and non-working title pages. I am stumped as to why this target is not outputting like the other 9.

I'd guess that the print layout you have for that title page has a fairly small content area (above the red swoosh) AND all those paragraphs are coded in a way that keeps them together. On the one where this info appears on another page, one line of the title wraps onto another line which makes it longer, and probably makes it take too much space to fit in the content area.

I have reduced the name of the doc and it still won't fit. It isn't any longer than the other names and is done with the same style. But I still can't get it to work.

Are they all using the same page layout file, or did you do one per target? If you're using a different page layout file for each target, then double-check the page layout file to make sure the title area is big enough for the title (including accounting for the margin, padding, and border attributes of the title text block) and that there's not something overlapping the title block frame.

Hi,

Yes, all have the same page layout file, just different attributes on them. I have even tried to bring those that work in and it didn't work in this book.

I recreated my project file last night from scratch. I created a new Page Layout page and can get the text to appear where it should.

Now I see a new problem. Right after Page 8 I get a blank page for 9. If I change the Break Type on the next book file, the text on the title page goes away again.

I looked at the page layouts and I see two items on each called Body and Footer. Would these interfere and insert page layouts?

Looking at all the other targets they all look like this. Except this book is not working. I spent time researching and working on it over the weekend and pretty much have given up. Being the sole writer here I do not have anyone that can look at the project structure to see why this is generating with an inserted blank page. Changing anything makes the output mess up.

I guess next I would double-check the TOC entry to make sure it's pointing to the correct page layout and everything that should be enabled in the TOC entry is enabled. As an additional test, you could temporarily change one of the working "books" to point to the topic for this "book". If the topic's title page then shows up, then that would lend credence that the problem is with the TOC entry and not the topic itself or the page layout. (Actually, that doesn't entirely rule out the topic because you could have some weird inline style that's interfering, but it's something else to eliminate.)
