I want to publish a document in both printed and electronic versions. I use twoside,open=right
for the printed version and oneside
for the electronic version.
Due to the empty pages which are inserted in the twoside
layout, the page numbers are going to diverge between the two layouts (see example below). Is there a sensible way to keep the page numbers in sync?
Solutions I can think of:
- Insert empty pages in the
oneside
layout. [Maybe this could be done by using thetwoside
layout and shifting the type area back to the center (ugly).] - Use another layout for the electronic version. What is the 'best practice'? Publish the electronic version (for use in PDF reader) with the
twoside
layout?
Here is a simple example demonstrating the issue (I use the KOMA classes, but the same thing happens with book
). The twoside layout has 10 pages while the oneside layout has 9 pages.
\documentclass[twoside,open=right]{scrbook}
% \documentclass[oneside]{scrbook}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blinddocument
\Blindtext
\blinddocument
\end{document}
oneside
but define\cleardoublepage
to set the page count to odd without throwing a blank page.oneside
layout. Missing page numbers might confuse the readers.
