texte = Jay,I think that I need to be more specific on why it's still messed up...After the Table of Contents, there needs to be a blank page. Why? Because if you duplex print the file, it puts page #1 (official page #1 as numbered and not .pdf page #1) on the back of the last Table of Contents page. This has the effect of messing up the print, because it now starts putting the page numbering in the gutter (inside edge where it's hole punched, bound, etc) instead of on the outside edge where it should be. Page #1 should start on it's own page (when duplex printed) so to accomplish that, you have to put a blank page in between .pdf page 25 and 26. If you have a duplex printer available, try printing pages 1-30 to see what I mean.So, even if you still don't understand, just do me (and all the other folks who plan to double-side the print and then put it in a binder) a favor and put in a blank page after the Table of Contents and before Chapter 1: Welcome to WebCatalog). :)Thanks!!!BillAt 1:28 PM -0800 2/8/00, Jay Van Vark wrote:>Thanks for the catch -- we have updated the pdfs on the ftp server... > >Thanks again for letting us know! > >>Hey SM! >> >>I pulled down the latest incarnation of the WebCatalog .pdf file and >>noticed that it's formatted incorrectly.
