Prevent blank pages before chapters in PDF output
Hi,
when I convert a DITA-Document to PDF, is there a way to remove the blank pages right before a new chapter? I think this happens because it is configured to create a two page layout (the blank page only occurs when the chapter does not start on an uneven page number). Is there some kind of property that changes this behaviour?
I appreciate any help!

Hi,
There is a PDF customization book called DITA For Print which seems to cover this:

I am facing the same issue and the link shared by Radu does not exist anymore. Please share the customization solution, if available.
I am new to oxygen DITA and keep facing minor issues.

Re: Prevent blank pages before chapters in PDF output
What PDF transformation are you using, the one based on XSL-FO or HTML5+CSS? For the later, please see the page breaking documentation topic: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... e_breaking
