If I understand correctly, the pure FO solution would be to use the 
float="left" property, but FOP (still?) doesn't support it.

Subject: Absolute position of image in page

Hi everybody,

It's me again. When creating my fo:file I sometimes get large PDF pages which I 
want to position at the left upper corner of the page. The PDF is always wide 
enough to cover the page and small enough not to cover the footer. 

I had no problem with forcing a break before the image and I did find 
"absolute-position" to position the image at 0/0. Which is the left upper 
corner of the flow area. But the position of this corner relative to the left 
upper corner of the page depends on whether it is an even or odd page. 
Using fox:external-document and therefore pulling the image out of the ordinary 
flow means no footer. 

I thought about defining two new simple-page-master with the flow starting at 
the page corner and only the footer moving on odd/even pages, but it seems 
awfully inconvenient. Any better ideas out there?

Regards,
 
Georg Datterl
