Merge Away Page Breaks

Post by shade-cabin-hammock »

Hi,

I'm working with a a short but difficult book. Though it is divided into chapters, the "chapters" are quite short.

It would ACTUALLY be better for me if each chapter was just one long page - no page breaks.

I've gotten the book rendered out now as a PDF with REALLY long pages using another piece of software. But, there was a functional maximum to the length they could do.

Is there any way I can FURTHER merge pages that I've got? Such that the page break between 9 & 10, for example, disappears and the page just doubles in length?

Put another way - rather than having two 11-inch pages, the result is one page of 22 inches?

And! Should this be possible - a way to apply it to any number of pages up to the computational maximum. (I don't need to do the whole book. I can just go section by section - like:

Section one: Five Merged Pages.
Section two: Three Merged Pages.
Section Three: Seven Merged Pages ...

I tried with

Organize > Merge Pages

But, couldn't quite get that outcome of pages stitching themselves together foot to head.

Among the features is this possible in any way?

Sincerely,

SCH

Hello shade-cabin-hammock,

Merge Pages is the place you need to go - but you might need to create your own custom page sizes.
The below creates an double height A4 portrait page size - and then places two normal A4 portrait pages one under the other:

You will of course need to remove your margins from the source pages first if there are any, and you are also limited to 5080mm/200 inches for the max size of the page.

Kind regards,
Stefan
