Ah well, my afternoon's almost over anyway... Here's a proposal: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/ExtensionsForPdf Feel free to improve/comment/fix. In FO that would look like this: <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4" page-height="29.7cm" page-width="21cm" margin="2cm"> <fo:region-body/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:declarations> <pdf:document-settings xmlns:pdf="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/pdf"; page-mode="full-screen"/> </fo:declarations> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block>Hello World!</fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> On 11.07.2008 16:21:55 Jiri Tyr wrote: > OK, I understand.
