How do i avoid blank pages in my PDF?

when creating a PDF of my plan it inserts blank pages in the PDF. e.g. a plan that should fit on 2 pages of A4 comes through as a 4 page PDF with content on pages 1 and 3 and blank pages on pg 2 and 4. How do i avoid this?

Hi Simon,

When creating and exporting plans as a PDF. To avoid blank pages appearing in the PDF, I suggest using the Standard UKCC Compatible format when creating the PDF. Also when adding a new drill to the plan, if you create this as a `Add New Section Heading` (see picture) this will mean that each drill is nicely spaced out. This should mean that your PDF avoids having any blank pages. I hope this was helpful!
