We are evaluating XFC for XSL:FO to DocX conversion.
We need to print "Page ## of ##" at the bottom of the page. E.g. Page 1
of 4.
Using Apache FOP this was the solution:
<fo:block text-align="end" margin-right="30pt"
margin-bottom="70pt">
Page <fo:page-number/> of
<fo:page-number-citation ref-id="TheVeryLastPage"/>
</fo:block>
....
<fo:block id="TheVeryLastPage"/>
This allowed the document to print the current page and insert a
reference to the last page. How can I achieve the same with XFC.
It's exactly the same when using XFC, but with a twist. XFC has no way
to determine the page numbers. Only MS-Word can do this.
<fo:page-number/> and <fo:page-number-citation/> are translated by XFC
to DOCX fields (having an initial value of "0") and the values of these
fields must be updated by MS-Word itself after opening the generated
DOCX file in the word processor.

I use the page-number-citation object to print the number of pages in my
document, but the displayed value is always 0 when I load the document
in MS-Word. How can I get the correct value?

Lastly, we are evaluating it for running on a Linux machine and for
being called from Java. Will you please recommend the product I should
contact sales for.
I'm sorry but I don't have enough information to answer this question. I
can simply say that you may not use "Desktop License" for that.
More info in "Which license to choose?",

So ideally we just want to use it as a Jar file from
inside a Java app for when people want to export to Word instead of PDF.
"Just the Jar file" xfc.jar *IS* the product. Everything else (XSL
Utility, XSL Server) is given away when you purchase xfc.jar.
