[RESOLVED] Compound Coordinated PDF is adding random blank pages
I have a 3 page pdf with 4 break values. Only on the last break it inserts a blank page, then at the end of the report another blank page. I have tried everything I've found on this site pertaining to blank pages in pdf with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, --wgThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Winfred Gunter,

Would you be able to work an example using the CAR table replicating the behaviour?
Just as a comment, have you tried altering the PRINTPLUS setting ON a/o OFF to see which effect it has on your output?
I have tried PRINTPLUS and PAGE NOBREAK from reading another discussion. PRINTPLUS ON or OFF didn't affect the output.
Plus another member said he had the same problem and fixed it by doing a squeeze=1.8 on a column..... don't know what that means, but it made me go check all my components to make sure they were sized well within the page margins.
I'm afraid I can't duplicate using the car file.
Also, I could post the layout page, but there are 23 reports and graphs on three pages. Each report / graph is a separate fex.
My VP level (top level) copy of the code, doesn't do coordination and it display fine with no random blank pages. It happens on the region level where I've included a high-level SORT_FIELD for coordination.... otherwise the layout is a duplicate of the VP Level.

The blank pages are completely blank.... kinda wish something was there.... it would be a clue.
Can you disable paneling? In case, it's paneling, but it really doesn't have anything else to print (paneling white space).

An interesting test would be to change the page size to something larger.
For me I would change from A4 to A3, which is twice the size.
If it doesn't get the extra blank pages, then there is a good chance that it is paneling.
Normally with paneling, you should get the page number, is it turned on ?
Can you post the code ?

Have you looked at the flow/overflow settings? Sometimes that affects what comes out where on the page.
