Hi Andreas,

Forget I said anything. The difference comes from the printer or acrobat adding 
5mm margin on the paper and then scaling everything down. If I take that into 
account, the numbers add up.

Of course it's not as easy as I thought. Would you mind having a look at the 
attached fo-file? It contains some stuff I don't think relevant for my problem 
(but I may be wrong), but the interesting part are a few blocks labeled L15, 
L25, L35, R1a5 and R1b5. I gave them a background color to find them again, but 
when I generated the area tree and the pdf, the area tree blocks' bpd and bpda 
don't fit the mm size of the coloured areas in the pdf. For example, L15 gives 
me 88104 millipoint, translated into 31.081133mm, but measuring results in no 
more than 30mm. L25 gives 215808 millipoint, translated into 76.13226mm, 
measured 73mm. Why?

I thought as much...

Definitely sounds possible. Assuming nothing exotic with writing-mode or 
reference-orientation, this would be the "bpd" or "bpda". IIC, the difference 
between the two is that one takes into account the borders and padding, while 
the other only refers to the content. I'd have to check an example to say for 
sure which is which.

Since the block in the first cell will be broken, you will obviously need to 
combine the block-progression-dimension of all three blocks, but that should 
not pose a problem, I think...

HTH!

Andreas
