Sorry, I take your point. There have been occasions when I have sweated over a 
problem whose solution was not software related.

Well, the issue is that these letters go all over the country...so one
letter may need text specific for Utah while the next 5 may go to Maine.
Obviously we could configure the software to print only letters going to
specific states at a time, but management would rather the program spit out
the appropriate text on a per-letter basis.

How fancy is your printer and what sort of print run do you do? Why not
print your letter text single-sided and do a bulk run before or after to
print your legal text on the back? The way you describe it, the legal text
sounds as if it does not vary.

The ongoing saga of my FOP-driven letter engine continues. Now, management
has requested that I create letters that are comprised of 2 pages. The
letter text on the first page, and state-specific legal text on the back.

First, I want to specifically say "this text can only go on even pages" and
"that text can only go on odd pages". If the letter text goes over one page,
I want the text to roll onto a third page and leave the state specific text
only on page 2. Secondly, my engine right now appends multiple FO documents
together to create one bulk PDF. I'm assuming I will be using the
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="alternating"> tag to control what goes
on even and odd pages, given the first issue, will the solution be friendly
to this? Finally, it's all good and well if it's able to be done using
XSL:FO...I obviously am searching for a solution that FOP 0.20.5 supports.
Any ideas?
