Don't know if the following will help but here it is. I have a similar situation where left always was an image and right was its parts listing. The parts listing could go two pages but it needed to always be on the right. What I did was figure out how many parts fit on one page and then create temp vars of the parts and then in a choose statement decide the sequence of tables. Like thus
Choose When count of parts is less than 54 Table image Table parts When count of parts is greater than 53 Table image Table parts (first 53) Table image Table parts (all after 53) And each table has page-break-after="always" This will only work if you know how many lines you require and if your content is more tabular in nature.

I've come back to this issue after a long break. To review, my use case is that I want to have a static body of text printed on every even page. It will be a set of Terms and Conditions that is to appear on the back of each packing slip when they are duplex printed. So I'm trying to prevent any flow text from appearing on even pages but cannot find a way. Vincent's last response seems to indicate that it is possible to prevent flow text from appearing on a page using margins. That's been my approach so far, but I've been unsuccessful. You will notice from the attached PDF that one line is written to page 2 even though the margins should not allow this. I've tried several different combinations but have always had at least one line written to that page. I've attached all the relevant files. Thanks for any input! Dave >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi David, Can you please send your FO file (directly to me if it’s big or confidential)? I tried on a simple file and by setting margins on the region-body to make it empty I could get the content to be typeset only on odd pages. Thanks, Vincent David Gerdt wrote: You remembered correctly. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Flow 'xsl-region-body' does not map to the region-body in page-master 'front'. FOP presently does not support this. Thanks for the help anyway.

FOP might not like that, unfortunately, if I remember correctly. Eric Amick Systems Engineer II Legislative Computer Systems From:David Gerdt [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 15:11 To: [email protected] Subject: page master with no flow text in region-body Is it possible to create a page-master where the region-body will not allow any of the flow text to come in? I want to create a document that will be duplex printed where the front of the page (odd pages) will be dynamic and the back of the page (even pages) will be a static body of text, the same on every even page. My thought was to use conditional-page-masters for odd and even pages where the margins of the even page would not allow any text to be written in the region-body and use the region-before to include my static text. For instance, I supposed that if the region-body area were only 1mm, no dynamic text would fit and only the static content would be displayed. This apparently doesn't work. The region-body seems to always contain at least one line of text. I know I could probably use the IF to do this, but does anyone know of a way to do this in straight XSL-FO? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
