Blank page added after index

We are generating a document using Word Merge and then converting to PDF. The document includes a section with an index and then a section which contains a single page covered by an image & a textbox.


If we save to docx and then use Word to manually save as a PDF everything is fine but if we do it in Aspose we end up with a blank page between the index and the image. The page does have the header/footer from the index section. We have inspected the two sections in the debugger and there a no weird extra paragraphs etc.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I managed to get around this in the end. Originally I had a 3 column index sitting inside a 3 column page layout. When I changed the index code to make the number of columns Auto it stopped adding the blank page. I have attempted to reproduce it in a simple test case but can’t manage to do so.
