unwanted blank page because of page count
I need to insert just one blank page after page 6. The problem is, the next page after page 7 must be page iii, which is an odd page. That means that xsl-fo inserts *two* blank pages in order to make sure that page iii starts on the right side. The requirements for the thesis insist that one blank page be inserted after page 6. Is there any way I can get xsl-of to insert just one blank page? My code is below.

Maybe I should write my own simple Renderer? I dont follow exactly what you are trying to do. You need the number of pages, but not the rendered document? You could write a simple renderer that implements all the methods in the AbstractRenderer and does nothing in those methods, to keep processing to a minimum. To be honest I dont think it will save more than 10%-20% of the time. Most of the processing time is taken up by layout, not the renderer.

You have to render the XML with a placeholder, count
pages, and render again with the actual number of pages.
FOP provides a method to access the total number of
pages rendered, this allows automation (note: code
can be optimized):
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Driver driver =new Driver();
driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(args[2]));
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
Transformer transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance()
.newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File(args[1])));
transformer.setParameter(page-count,#);
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new File(args[0])),
new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
String pageCount=Integer.toString(driver.getResults().getPageCount());
driver =new Driver();
driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(args[2]));
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance().
newTransformer(new StreamSource(new File(args[1])));
transformer.setParameter(page-count,pageCount);
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new File(args[0])),
new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
}
catch( Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Re: page count
Henrik,
Your .fo file is an XML document. So, you need to write an XSL that can
rewrite the .fo document with some minor changes. Lets say you follow my
suggestion and your first XSL generates an .fo with fo:inline
placeholder=PutTotalPagesHere1234/fo:inline in those spots where
you want the page total. (. . . hm that is a tough problem isn't it?)
OK. You have to then render the document using FOP because FOP is the
only thing that's going to know how many pages are rendered. You'll have
to capture the total number of pages from FOP using that Java variable
which I saw referred to in a post about 3 weeks ago (anyone?) and then
rewrite the .fo using an XSL like this. Passing in the value for the
number of pages as a parameter to your stylesheet. I use saxon and the
command line is something like
saxon -o output.fo input.fo rewrite.xsl TotalPages=24
There's a Java interface on most XSL processors that allow you to do the
same thing. (Or, you could dynamically generate this XSL with the number
of pages embedded)
