How To Remove Blank Brochure Pages

Updated over a month ago

Overview

Blank pages can appear when using the booklet layout, which is designed as two-page spreads (left and right pages viewed together). Each section needs to fill both sides of a spread. If a section has an odd number of pages, one side of the spread will naturally be empty—resulting in what looks like a blank page.

A helpful way to think about it: every page needs a “pair” to complete the spread. If one is missing, you’ll see an empty spot.


Why Blank Pages Happen

  • Booklet layout requires even-numbered pages per section

  • Sections with odd page counts will include a blank page at the end

  • This does not occur in single-page view


How to Remove Blank Pages

Option 1: Switch to Single Page View (Easiest)

  • Use Single Page Layout instead of booklet

  • No requirement for even page counts

  • Automatically removes all blank pages

Option 2: Add a Page to Balance the Section

If you want to keep booklet format:

  • Add a photo page or custom page to the section

  • Place it where the blank page appears

  • This ensures the section has an even number of pages

Option 3: Reduce Content to Fit Fewer Pages

  • Edit pages with overflowing content (e.g., property descriptions, highlights)

  • Shorten text, remove extra spacing, or clean up duplicate content

  • Ensure content fits on one page instead of spilling into two

Option 4: Adjust Data-Heavy Sections

For sections like comps or advisory bios:

  • Reduce the number of items (e.g., fewer comps or advisors)

  • Enable charts or alternative views to optimize layout

  • Add a photo page if needed to balance page count

Option 5: Optimize Page Builder Layouts

If using Page Builder:

  • Decrease font size

  • Reduce table row height

  • Remove extra line breaks or spacing

  • Condense content to fit within a single page when possible

Option 6: Combine or Group Content

  • Group multiple images into a photo grid

  • Consolidate content to reduce total page count

  • Helps convert odd page counts into even ones


Summary

To eliminate blank pages in booklet layout:

  • Ensure each section has an even number of pages

  • Add, remove, or adjust content as needed

For a quick fix, switch to Single Page View. For booklet formatting, use a combination of adding pages or condensing content to maintain even page counts.
