Margins change after setting mirror pages

Post by bennichs »

Hi,

I'm having trouble setting all pdf output margins the same dimensions after setting the variable "mirror-page-margins" to "true". The side margins on the odd and even body pages are different even when I have all "page-margin" variable set to the same dimensions. I want double sided pages, but also want all the margins to be the same.

I hope that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ben,

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you have other PDF customizations? Setting the mirror page margins in the basic-settings.xsl worked quite well for me, I did not find any obvious page margin problems.
Maybe a screenshot would help.

You could also try to write about this on the DITA Users List, they might have other suggestions for you.

Regards,
Radu

Thanks for the response. I got it figured out. At some point I had a 1 inch "column gap" in region-body-odd of layout-masters-attr.xsl that was throwing the columns off. Don't know how I missed that. Removed the gap, and we're all good.

Thanks again.

Ben
