There are blank pages in the PDF file created for my annotated study book

Each form appears on its own page in the PDF output.

However, because of how the PDF is generated by Windows, which Oracle Central Designer cannot control, if a form is large enough that when printed it goes all the way to the bottom of the page, generating the PDF creates an extra page break, leading to random blank pages in the PDF.

If you see blank pages in the PDF, change the scaling before printing to PDF.

  1. Instead of clicking the Print button in the Annotated Study Book Options dialog box, right click anywhere in the Annotated Study Book window, and select Print Preview.

    The preview will first scale the output to 100%, and then Shrink to Fit. This shrinking is what causes the blank page.

  2. Change the scaling, for example to 60%, until you can see there are no blank pages.

    You may have to change the scaling based on the content of the study.

  3. After you're satisfied with the appearance of the PDF, click the printer button and select your PDF printer driver as you'd normally do.

    The resulting PDF should have no blank pages.
