Booklet save to rtf

Post by peterbel » 13 Jul 2021 19:07

Has this been reported to CP, I know there have been some booklet/printing issues that have?
I have 4 x A4 page Waterfall Chart in my Booklet which saves to pdf (Nova and Acrobat Distiller) fine but looses pages 1, 2 and 3 when it is saved to rtf.

Yes, there have been several improvements to Charts/Diagrams in Books and saving to PDF but not sure about RTF.
If you have FH v7.0.7 installed then report the problem to CP.

CP have responded to say they know the issue and there is a work around as the Images are all there, just stacked on top of each other.
I was working in MSWord and so inserted 3 pages after the Waterfall image, then dragged the visible image to the third inserted page, and then so on for the others.

Just a quick follow up.
Printing the complete Booklet after the above tweaks was fine. However I printed it two-sided which was not what I wanted for the Waterfall, I wanted that to be joined pages that could be opened as if one, so individual page prints.
Went back and printed just those and had to experiment to find the page numbers, via pdf prints. It wouldn't print the correct ones using the number at the bottom of page image! Have advised CP

It wouldn't print the correct ones using the number at the bottom of page image!

That's because the PDF pages start at number 1 but the first book page(s) are numbered with Roman numerals and the numbering switches to arabic numerals and starts again at 1 with the first chapter. This is the relevant paragraph from the Help file:
Chapter and Index items will be listed automatically in the table of contents, if there is one. Page numbering in roman numerals starts at the table ofcontents, but the actual values of the numbers represent the'real' page number (e.g. if the table of contents is on the3rd physical page, it will be numbered 'iii'). Numbering continues in roman numerals until the first chapter is encountered at which point page numbering switches to arabic numerals and the numbers start again at '1'. This is standard page numbering policy for most books.

Lorna, I made a mistake in my last post, the page numbers that didn't correlate were those from the Status bar of MSWord. Also, it was pages from the rtf file I was printing, not a pdf, I just used pdf printing to make paperless test prints to determine the correct page numbers :D
