Question: In my current print jobs, I have two page sequences where the second sequence has its own numbering scheme (reset to 1). The PDF I generate need be printed in duplex mode. My first page sequence typically has two pages, but there's sometimes a document where the first sequence is three pages long. Since I need to have an even number of pages in the first sequence (otherwise duplex printing is broken, in insert a force-page-count="end-on-even" in the first sequence.
Works fine. But: I use page-number-citations in the footer to get "page x of y" style page counts. To get the "y", I append an empty block with an id property to the flow that I reference with the page-number-citation. Because that empty block happens to be formatted on page 3 (4 is empty in this case), I get a footer "page 4 of 3" on page 4. Of course, this is logical, I think. Now the question is: how can that kind of problem be solved with :FO (preferably with FOP, too.. 8-) ) I need to reference a formatting object that is on the "empty" page. This I cannot do, since I don't have a formatting object on the page - besides the static-content footer which doesn't help, because it's repeated -. Well, ok, I might be able to do something with the blank-or-not-blank property, but then the blank page isn't counted. I don't see how I could use a page-position="last" property for this, either. Did I stumble upon a missing feature in XSL:FO, or am I just too tired? Any ideas?
