Hi,

When you set force-page-count="end-on-even" the last page will never be odd and that's why the page master "last_odd" is never selected. What you are looking for is page-position="last-1" but unfortunately FOP doesn't support that

Thanks,

Chris

Hi FOP users,

I am having trouble with the page-master layouts used for a page sequence.

The page sequence uses force-page-count="end-on-even". This appears to work as expected, no matter the content, the sequence always ends on an even page, creating a blank if necessary.

My trouble is with the last odd page when is preceding a forced end-on-even page. I want for that preceding last odd page to use a different footer layout.

I have created simple-page-masters for even , odd , blank, and last odd pages.

I have created the page-sequence-master to use repeatable-page-master-alternatives > conditional-page-master-reference as follows

<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="blank" blank-or-not-blank="blank"/> <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="last_odd" blank-or-not-blank="not-blank" page-position="last" odd-or-even="odd"/> <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="even" blank-or-not-blank="not-blank" odd-or-even="even"/> <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="odd” blank-or-not-blank="not-blank" odd-or-even="odd"/>

No matter the order of the above conditional-page-master-reference elements, the last_odd never gets selected.

I have verified this by generating  “intermediate-format”  output and see the if:page page-master-name="blank" correctly used for the last page in sequence but the preceding odd page is using if:page page-master-name="odd".

<if:page-squence>

<if:page page-master-name="odd">..</if:page>

<if:page page-master-name="even">..</if:page>

<if:page page-master-name="odd">..</if:page>

<if:page page-master-name="blank">..</if:page>

</if:page-squence>

Am I misunderstanding  how force-page-count="end-on-even" works?  Or do I have my conditional-page-master-ref criteria wrong or ordered incorrectly?  Any help/ideas would be much appreciated.

System details:

Windows 11

Thanks,
