Hi Fopers, I can understand your requirements, but I would like to know what memory limit you are looking for and what are the filters you two are talking about. As for me, I have been using FOP for BIG reports (fromm 100 to 2000 pages) with big tables (like you, more than 500 pages long

Lou is right. could you tell us what FOP outputs when you use the debug mode ? (-d option in command line). Cyril At 10:53 25/07/2002 -0400, you wrote: Ramana: Is it dumping out FOP error messages even though the report seems to be working? I think these errors can be related to overflows

Hi, (Remark : This is a XSL issue, nothing particular with XSL FO nor FOP. :) you can simply use some other template (usually they use some toc named template) to generate your table of content using the same nodes. This wat, you can use the same xsl:generate-id function to generate the same

Again, I must ell you that your issue is XSLT related, not FO nor FOP. You must be sure that the current context node is the same when you generate the fo:block id={generate-id()} and the fo:page-number-citation ref-id={generate-id()}/ ! different ids mean different nodes used by the

Re: Getting an error when using an XHTML file??

You can do the page 1/(total nb of pages) using some last block reference. I mean you can generate a block with a special id, like my-very-last-paragraph within the last page. then, you can use a page-number-citation that refers to your my-very-last-paragraph block. as for the last FOP dist,
