Limits to Compiling?

When I compiled with Scrivener Format it compiled the whole thing. When I did my customer format, it failed. I don’t understand how it could compile correctly with 50 chapters, and then the last be wrong.

Because it is the last. Not because it is the 51st.

This worked…


This did not…

If your custom format fails, the most likely reason is that the missing material has an incorrect Section Layout assigned or is otherwise mis-formatted by the Compile Format.

Kewms here… Yay!
You are in good hands.

I’m not really here. Still on vacation until next week. Just dropping in to check for emergencies, and this one was easy to answer.

Here is the last part of the manuscript. It is assigned as a section. Unless I missed settings about the end of a document.

Honestly, at this point since it has been established that it is the compile format that is messing it all up, should it be me, I’d just start over with a new one.
Plain simple.

I have a second format… I did not assign anything to the sections… this did not complete, but not in the same spot. So, is this an issue with custom formats entirely? Or compiling to PDF with custom formats?

Compile for print, then save as PDF, I have the full PDF… this is not a custom format issue.

Why not simply duplicate the one you just successfully tried ?
Then tweak it. Test it now and then as you further tweak it.

I can tweak the format, but I don’t see how ONLY compile to PDF is breaking, but all other compile to’s are working.

Different converter.
Something that that specific format conversion doesn’t like with your compile format. (?) Likely.

You might even be able to salvage your compile format by simply inserting a dummy blank document at the bottom of your binder ?? (If you don’t have a TOC, that is… Although that’d be the “Steve O’s” way of handling things.)
