Hello,
I am currently experiencing a problem when generating PDFs using FOP.
Due to duplex printing, all generated documents must have an even number
of pages. So, if a generated document has an odd number of pages, then a
blank page should be added at the end of the document. The document must
also have a header/footer.
I tried using force-page-count="even", but due to the header/footer
definition, the blank page at the end of the doc is not actually blank
(it still contains the header and the footer).
Do you know how can I remove the header/footer from that page and make
it really empty?
It is possible to do what you want using XSL-FO; What you need to do in
your page-sequence-master in the conditional-page-master-reference in
addition to specifying odd-or-even="even" you can add an extra criterion
blank-or-not-blank="blank" This will allow you to select a different
simple-page-master depending on whether there is actual content on the
page. So you will select a s-p-m that has no headers/footers if the page
is blank.
An example should make this clearer:
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master name="odd" page-width="210mm"
page-height="297mm">
<fo:region-body margin-top="20mm"/>
<fo:region-before region-name="oddheader" extent="20mm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master name="even" page-width="210mm"
page-height="297mm">
<fo:region-body margin-top="20mm"/>
<fo:region-before region-name="evenheader" extent="20mm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master name="noheader" page-width="210mm"
page-height="297mm">
<fo:region-body/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="all">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
master-reference="odd" odd-or-even="odd" blank-or-not-blank="not-blank"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="noheader"
odd-or-even="odd" blank-or-not-blank="blank"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="even"
odd-or-even="even" blank-or-not-blank="not-blank"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="noheader"
odd-or-even="even" blank-or-not-blank="blank"/>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
