Hi Rick, In OO Help, Click Index and then type 'PDF' (no quotes). Select 'PDF export' and then click the Display button. At the very bottom of the help page you should see something to the effect of: "Export automatically inserted blank pages If switched on, automatically inserted blank pages are being exported to pdf file. This is best if you are printing the pdf file double-sided. Example: In a book a chapter paragraph style is set to always start with an odd numbered page. The previous chapter ends on an odd page. OpenOffice.org inserts an even numbered blank page. This option controls whether to export that even numbered page or not."
This is describing a checkbox that appears at the very bottom of the 'PDF Options' pop-up window under the 'General' tab. This pop-up appears after you have chosen a name for the pdf file you are creating. I believe it to be checked by default. Try ensuring that is is not checked and let us know what happens.

I still don't understand why it would be necessary to add blank pages in a pdf, especially AFTER all the indexing is done. It doesn't make much sense. Fortunately, ps2pdf seems to work in a logical fashion and not screw up the pagination.
