FM 12 Kindle Page Breaks

[Amit Jha]

Hi Art_Campbell

You can do that using  pagination in conversion settings. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS2d2a17056e2191985844af1a142be0be50b-7ffc.html

In publish pod (File -> Publish) 

     1. Go to Edit settings by clicking on settings button
     2. Go to conversion setting
     3. Select the FM Para tag (where you want to have page break) 
     4. Check pagination
     5. Click on Save & close and publish

You can also do the Special > Page Break operation as local override.

Please let us know if it is not working for you.

Thanks
Amit Jha
