Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply. It works for what is 1 page concerned. If I extend
your example with a few more blocks to force a page break, the last block(s)
are cut (see attached example) :
<fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container position="absolute">
<fo:block font-size="20pt">
Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven
by
XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent formatter.
It is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and
renders the resulting pages to a specified output.
Output formats currently supported include
PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML (area tree representation), Print,
AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent, RTF and TXT.
The primary output target is PDF </fo:block>
<fo:block font-size="20pt" space-before='2in'>
