Hi everybody,

Todays question is, how can I make sure, my PDF has a fixed number of pages? 

I have a publication with lots of page sequences. Can I define a page-sequence 
which inserts as many pages as necessary to keep the total page count dividable 
by four? I am printing catalogues and due to the printing process there are 
always four pages on one sheet. I can't just add pages at the end of the PDF, 
since the last pages are (usually) cover pages. So somewhere in the middle of 
the catalogue or in front of a chapter or before or after an index, basically 
anywhere after a page-sequence, the user says: Insert up to three pages here, 
if necessary. This pages are either blank or contain one background image (for 
examle lines, to create a page for personal notes.) 

As a Plan B, can I create a page-sequence which does not create a page in my 
PDF? I want a kind of marker in the fo file, so I can create the PDF, count the 
pages and then find the marker and expand it into a page sequence with the 
appropriate number of pages to make sure the pagecount is a multitude of 4.

Plan C, of course, is an empty fo:block with a special id at the end of the 
previous page sequence.

Regards,
