Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 35214
Empty page in PS (printing) and PDF output after page numbering change
Last modified: 2004-10-09 19:53:36 UTC
In a text document, type in two paragraphs (even just a few characters). Place the cursor at the beginning of the last one and press Ctrl+Enter to insert a page break. Now choose that paragraph's properties (Format->Paragraph), 'Text Flow' tab, there is a Page Break enabled. Check the 'With page style' box and change 'with page number' to 3. Now, the output looks correctly on screen (there are still two pages, only the logical page number, as displayed e.g. if a 'page number' field is added, changes), but if the document is printed (=exported to PostScript) or exported to PDF, it appears to be 3 pages long: one blank page appears in the output before the paragraph where the page break is. It also seems that if I don't press Ctrl+Enter, but go to the second paragraph's properties right away and enable exactly the same options as described above, results are the same.
Yes, that has been a problem for many people and goes on more than two years. Please see the discussion in issue 3910.
