Thanx Andreas !!! It sure did help. And almost was too good to be true, as yet another issue cropped up.
The reason the footer was needed only on the last page was to save page area on previous pages and use the footer information only on the last page where the footer info is actually relevant. But with the marker approach I noticed that the footer area has to be allocated to the other pages (using the layout and region-after values applicable to the pages) irrespective. So, untimately although no footer is printed on the middle pages, the area is consumed by a blank portion and so paper will not really be saved (the main intention of this exercise :-) ) But, nonetheless, your help was useful in understanding the feature provided by markers and is greatly appreciated.

Thanx in advance. > For the solution with markers, the explanation is: - define fo:static-content for every page, and make them include fo:retrieve-marker of a specific marker-class - make sure that the footer-info required to appear on your last page only appears in a fo:marker of the corresponding marker-class after the last fo:block Roughly, the XSL-FO has to look something like: <fo:page-sequence ...> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after"> <fo:block> <fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="footer-last" retrieve-boundary="page" retrieve-position="last-ending-within-page" /> </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:flow> ... <!-- put the following *only* after the last fo:block --> <fo:marker marker-class-name="footer-last"> This text appears only on the page containing the last fo:block </fo:marker> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> Hope this helps!
