Hi Christine,

If in fact it doesn't have hard page breaks it should be rejected, unless you're willing to go through and put them in manually.

Hi all,

I have been reading with interest everyone's comments on this issue. I tried Jamie's method of replacing page breaks with blank line page break blank line. I performed a "replace all," and in a book that is around 150 pages, there were only 21 replacements, and these were between front matter pages and between pages where one chapter ends and another begins. There was a discussion a few weeks ago about hard page breaks versus soft page breaks. I'm not sure I understand all this yet, but the following is the conclusion I have come to regarding the book in question: When using Jamie's method of replacing page breaks with blank line page break blank line, if only 21 replacements are made in a book that is over 150 pages, then the other 129 or so page breaks must therefore be soft page breaks and have nothing to do with the actual pagination of the print book. Since this book does not contain any page numbers, I cannot confirm this for sure, but I'm fairly certain that this is what's going on. As far as I understand it, books without hard page breaks (those that correspond with the actual pagination of the print book) must be rejected. That all took a lot longer to explain than I thought. Am I correct, or at least on the right track, with all this, and am I correct in believing that this book does indeed need to be rejected because of its lack of hard page breaks? If so, what a long process to find out that a book needs to be rejected, but, on a positive note, this newbie validator has definitely learned a lot from this one little book! Thanks for everyone's help with this, especially G. Cindy for taking the time to track down the copyright page.

Christine
