ADD PAGES FROM FILE...STRANGE BEHAVIOR...GHOST PAGE


Recommended Posts

I have an original file (document 1) from which I want to extract 8 pages to document 2 (document 2). For this I use the add pages from file menu.

I create a new empty document (document 2)  and "ADD pages from FILE.." option menú appears. 

In the menu that appears, I select insert from page 13 to 20 and replace page 1 of the new document (document2). I can see in the tiny menu window that I have correctly selected the pages since the image of page 13 appears. I click and the pages are inserted in the new documento(document 3). BUT a ghost first page is created and only 7 pages are imported (from 14 of the original document to 20th).  Therefore, the first page to import has been replaced by a blank page

I think of a way to correct this... if I import page number 13 replacing the first one, the problem is solved. But this doesn't work, what I get is: Instead of importing page 13, pages 4,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 of the original document are imported incorrectly.

 Clearly something is not working right. 
Could someone clarify for me what is happening?

I think this might be related to a known issue, or two:

There are aspects of what you're reporting that seem similar to those, at least.

Yes, they look similar. In my case, the pages are not facing each other and there are no different sections that could hinder the correct import.
My file is very simple. Text boxes linked sequentially.
I have to add that if I import the pages from a PDF file the import is correct.
