RE: Footer placement...
Thanks Chris. Will try out your suggestion and get back to the list of the outcome.

A footnote only takes up space if present. So just put a footnote in your last paragraph and it should appear at the bottom of the last page. No need to define a region-after. The only problem with footnotes is that they are a bit buggy in current version of FOP. Certain scenarios may produce strange effects, e.g. if last paragraph in document happens to be at bottom of page, then there will be room for footnote. What should happen is FOP should move last paragraph to next page along with footnote, but I dont think this works.

RE: Footer placement...
Thanx Andreas !!! It sure did help. And almost was too good to be true, as yet another issue cropped up. The reason the footer was needed only on the last page was to save page area on previous pages and use the footer information only on the last page where the footer info is actually relevant. But with the marker approach I noticed that the footer area has to be allocated to the other pages (using the layout and region-after values applicable to the pages) irrespective. So, untimately although no footer is printed on the middle pages, the area is consumed by a blank portion and so paper will not really be saved (the main intention of this exercise :-) ) But, nonetheless, your help was useful in understanding the feature provided by markers and is greatly appreciated.

Re: Footer placement...
Thanx for the reply. Can I get some more information or links on how this can be done with markers or footnotes ? I need to come up with a solution soon. Thanx in advance.

Footer placement...
Hi all, I have a requirement to print the footer only within the LAST page (along with body continued from previous pages) as shown below ---Page 1 -- Body details ---Page 1 -- ---Middle Page 1 --- Body details continued . ---Middle Page 1 --- .. subsequent pages .. ---Middle Page N Body details continued . ---Middle Page N ---Last Page Body details continued . FOOTER Information ---Last Page - Generally this functionality would need the use of the following But it seems that the [page-position="last"] feature has not yet been implemented, and I need a way to do the above in the absence of this feature. Any help in this direction is greatly appreciated. thanks for your time, Anil. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm using fop 0.20.5rc - is the message implemented but not the functionality? It's probably a bug, but investigating it is way down my todo list.

Re: table footer placement
Mike, This may not help, but have you tried 0.20.5rc2 and/or 0.20.4? Perhaps one of those may behave the way it should.
