The only thought I've had on this subject is to add up the heights of the
images (with a fudge factor for padding - say 25%) and move images that
exceed the page height to the next page (perhaps by wrapping them in a new
block). So, if you're usable page height is nine inches, you'd end up with
something like this:
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic height="1">
<fo:external-graphic height="2">
<fo:external-graphic height="2">
<fo:external-graphic height="2">
</fo:block>
<fo:block break-before="page">
<!-- This one kicked the to next block because it was
too big for what was left of the previous page -->
<fo:external-graphic height="3">
<fo:external-graphic height="1">
<fo:external-graphic height="1">
<!-- and so on -->
</fo:block>
That kind of thing is nasty to implement in XSL, but it might work. Also,
I have no idea of what other content you might be managing with the
images, so this solution could rapidly become very complex. Still, it's a
thought. Maybe it'll trigger a better thought on your part.

Re: image running off the page
Ok. I have created a legal option for clients creating PDF files with long
images. But one of them still doesn't fit. The images runs through the
footer and off the page on legal size. I don't know what to do from here.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Luke
