Re: [libreoffice-users] Page count does not match visible pages

Hello!


In that case, I think there should be an enhancement request, e.g. 

Page 1 / 2   1 / 3
Page 2 / 2   3 / 3

The page count should display both cases. This will certainly be less confusing.

At present, the page count is:

Page 1 / 3

Page 1      3 / 3



I agree that the PDF option
"Export automatically inserted blank pages"

makes the three pages.

Regards,

C. H. D.

Sorry, but you misunderstand me. What I am saying is that everything you see is by design, and will 
not be seen as a bug: Writer still sees three pages, even if you choose to print only two of these.

That's because the same option is controlled separately for exporting to PDF. The PDF Options 
dialogue, which you see when you use File | Export as PDF..., has, at the foot of the General tab, 
a separate "Export automatically inserted blank pages" tick box. Yours must currently be unticked. 
Writer thinks that if you print that exported PDF document double-sided, you will need that extra 
page - to ensure that your second significant page prints on the front of the second sheet, not on 
the reverse of the first.

I suppose that there is no simple answer to this which takes account of both single- and 
double-sided printing in an intuitive fashion.  But there's no bug, I think.
