First of all, if Garamond—of whatever flavour ... I have both Adobe Garamond Pro and EB Garamond—is on your Mac, which you can check by opening FontBook and seeing if it's there, then it should be available to NWP. Or did you produce your PDF on a different machine which has Garamond and the one with NWP doesn't? In that case, I'd have a look at EB Garamond, which is open source and available from
http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/
Secondly, as an old Scrivener and NWP hand can I ask, given that you wanted to index your manuscript in NWP, why, rather than compiling to PDF, didn't you compile it to RTF and open that directly in NWP—the two programs both have RTF as their native format and work together brilliantly—and then, when you had done the indexing, get NWP to produce the PDF you need, complete with index?

Mark, thanks for the reply and my apologies for the delay. I've been experimenting and trying to implement your suggestions. But I've run into some snags.
I had already tried importing with RTF format and saw that my page count had decreased. Soon figured out that was because it wasn't inserting all the page breaks (for blank pages) where I had indicated them on the Scrivener compile function (although it works on PDF output). My format is to have Section titles on an odd page, followed by a blank page, followed by a chapter. All chapters begin on odd pages, so some of them have a blank page before them and some of them don't, depending on whether a chapter ends on an odd or even page. I hope that makes sense.
Anyway, long story short, here's a quick overview of my outline and what I'm encountering.
1 - copyright page, no page number, okay
2 - blank page, no page number, okay
3 - dedication page, no page number, okay
4 - blank page, no page number, okay
5 - anecdotal story, no page number, okay
6 - blank page, no page number, okay
7 - Introduction, two pages without page numbers, okay
8 - Section I title, no page number, okay
9 - blank page, supposed to be no page number but it keeps inserting page 6 despite multiple attempts to delete it
10 - Chapter 1 - it inserts page number 5. I want it to be 3, but it's not a big deal
11 - pages 6, 7, and 8 are numbered correctly, but then it jumps numbering to 11. I keep replacing it with "9," but no joy
12 - next pages numbered correctly as 10 through 17
13 - page 18 is a blank page and it won't let me delete the "18"; it looks like it's deleted, but when I scroll back through it, it reappears
14 - after that point I checked it through page 65 and so far so good, including Section II title followed by a blank page without the page number, as it shoud be. There's hundreds of pages, so I had to stop for now.
Obviously items 9 and 13 are the sticklers for me right now.
I got the Mac recently so I could take advantage of Scrivener's additional features that aren't available in Windows version. I'll have to check and see how to get into FontBook. The Garamond font is on this machine and that's the font used in Scrivener. Garamond shows up in RTF format in Nisus, but not in PDF.
Your suggestion is good to finalize the manuscript in RTF and then export to PDF. CreateSpace accepts either format.
My apologies for this long post, but I wanted to make sure I didn't leave out any info. I'm obviously very new to Nisus and fumbling my way through it.
