Conditional Pagination

[seraphim]

I might be wrong, but I think you can avoid this by forcing the
next-to-last file in the book to have odd page numbers.  Then, your
final file would just have one page, and would make the total page
count to be even.

Thus, it's the second-to-last file in the book that would flex (adding
a blank page when necessary to make the page count odd), and that
could be done automatically.

You could thereby avoid the dual-book approach.

Seraphim

Solution to the pagination problem:
Add two extra back cover files to the book
  One file for the manual that ends with even pages (adds two extra
pages)
  One file for the manual that ends with odd pages (adds one extra page)
Create two book files, one for each manual
May be the long way around, but it works.
Thank you to all for your advise.

FM won't delete pages that use a custom master page (or, since it starts
deleting empty pages at the end of the file, any non-custom pages
followed by a custom page).

If you have to have a custom master page, you might be able to make it
work using the Apply Master Pages feature. I'm not sure, since I haven't
used it. You'd have to be able to change your last page back and forth
between the standard master page and the custom page, maybe by importing
the appropriate MasterPageMaps table (reference pages).

If you have FrameScript, a script could switch out the master pages.

Third possibility: Put the back cover into its own one-page file.

HTH!
