    Thanks, Margaret. That sounds like a fine system; obviously your
   company still takes actual, physical print seriously!

   _________________________________
   Nancy,
   At a recent position where I worked, I prepared two files for every
   manual.
   One had "_Print" at the end of the manual names, and the other ones
   were
   labeled "_Online". The copies the company distributed as downloadable
   PDF
   files, were made from the "_Online" versions. Then if a customer or
   user
   viewed the manual online or even downloaded it and printed it on a
   simple
   (one-side) desktop printer, there were no blank pages. If a client
   company
   wanted to distribute printed copies to their employees, we sent them
   the
   "_Print" versions, which they could print on their own duplex printers,
   or
   send out to a printing vendor for printed and bound copies. This made
   everyone happy.
   I set up each manual with sectional numbering, so deleting the blank
   pages
   for the online version did not change the page numbers in the TofC.
   After I
   created the formal; "_Print " version, and made the PDF, I want back,
   made a
   copy of the file, renamed it "_Online", deleted any blank pages, and
   made a
   new PDF . We archived both versions, but expected client companies to
   produce their own printed manuals. YMMV
