Absulute Pagenumber

2002-05-04 Thread Ingo Peter
Hi,
first thanks for the last help generating pdf embedded.

In the reference I find no reference for print the absolute pagecount on
every page:
Page: page-number of absolute-page

Is there any solution for this problem...?

thanks

It's an old hat, the list archives as well as the FO
part of the XSL FAQ have solutions.
Put an id on some block element which will end up on
the last page, for example an empty block, and refer
to it. Code snippet:
 fo:page-sequence master-reference=...
   fo:static-content
 fo:block text-align=end
   fo:page-number/ of fo:page-number-citation ref-id=last/
 /fo:block
   /fo:static-content
   fo:flow
 ...
 fo:block id=last/
   /fo:flow
 /fo:page-sequence
Be aware of some pitfalls: you'll get a page number, not
a page count, so it won't work if you use multiple page
sequences with discountinuous numbering. And worst of all:
you are generating a forward reference, forcing FOP to
hold all pages in memory.
