Some time ago I had a similar requirement. May happen it is the same. I have blocks in the format

This is what I was getting:
---- top of page
| XXXXX -block one
| XXXXX -block two
| XXXXX - block three
|
|
---- bottom of page

This is what I wanted it to happen:
---- top of page
|XXXXX -block one
|
|XXXXX -block two
|
|XXXXX -block three
---- bottom of the page

I think what I'm looking can be called "vertical-justify". And is something very useful to make layouts like yellow pages and the like (lots of small blocks of text, spread on several columns in the page, justified to the top and bottom of the page).

I think that at the time, a management of the paddings and padding conditions would manage the wanted effect.

[there was another issue regarding space management but that isn't the issue here hehehe]

Cheers,
Kindaian

Not sure I understand you correctly. There are various way to generate
"padding" at the page bottom:

- margin-bottom on fo:simple-page-master
- margin-bottom on fo:region-body
- Enclose all your content in an fo:block and specify:
   padding-after="2cm" padding-after.conditionality="retain"

Depends on what effect you need exactly.

Hi everybody,

there's a question we've been confronted with during our development process
using FOP.
Is page bottom padding possible to materialize in FOP, while constructing a
layout with several columns and flow from one onto another?

Thanks in advance,
