The very last page of my manuscript is not included in the compiled PDF. The final scene is chopped at the end of the next to the last page. Help! ---

Hi. Just an idea : what if you add an extra blank page (in its own binder’s document) after you last scene ? Perhaps your PDF will be missing that blank page instead ? It looks like an issue I use to have when compiling for print (Windows version): I would systematically have missing pages. (I now compile to another format, then print, instead.) ---

> [@Vincent\_Vincent](#): > > ust an idea : what if you add an extra blank page (in its own binder’s document) after you last scene ? > Perhaps your PDF will be missing that blank page instead ? I just tried that, which almost works. It places a scene divider before the blank page, which is incorrect. ---

What if you add a page break plus an empty line at the end of your last scene instead ? Or a couple of carriage returns. (Enough so that there is an extra page to your scene - I’m sure you get the idea.) ---

> [@Vincent\_Vincent](#): > > you add a page break plus an empty line at the end of your last scene instead ? Adding no amount of texts helps. Adding a page break helps, _but_ it adds a blank page to my PDF, which I must manually delete. This is a HORRIBLE bug. I submitted my book to contests missing most of the final scene! ---

Looks like this bug was first reported a year ago: > [@Compile truncating last page](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/compile-truncating-last-page/94370): > > When I compile my stories, the last page is not included. The progress bar for the compile goes to 61% or 72% and then the progress bar disappears. I am using Windows Scrivener release candidate 16. I have tried compiling by selecting the manuscript (title) in the compile dialog or all the manuscript scenes in the binder and then the “selected” option in the compile dialog. I’ve tried including front matter and excluding it. I have compiled to PDF and to my printer (Brother laser). To get … ---

As for the bug itself (because we’ve only been trying to find a way around it), it’d be useful to the developers if you could give as much details as possible. Everything and anything by close or by far related to the project that won’t compile properly. How many pages is the compiled PDF ? Word count. How many documents in the draft. Compile settings. etc etc ---

The mac version doesn’t have a % done progress bar, but that user and I are both missing the last page. ---
