Btw, what do you mean by "scrambling it" before posting on MR? (Sorry English is my 2nd language). Thank you!

I meant using this plugin: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=267998, but as the file is large and hosted externally, I guess that's ok... I see that the setting modification I suggested didn't help, as there's again a blank page after the map in page 12, just before the introduction.

I too wish there was an option to save the conversion settings... One other thing I'd try is setting a custom paper size in output, here's what I used, and a sample is attached:
