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.
Why not append the DISCLAIMER at the end? That way, it doesn't matter if it's even or odd, and the 1st page-sequence can flow as normal?
BACKGROUND:
My application generates medical bill "Explanation of Benefits" for the state of New York (among other states). We used to print using COBOL on pre-printed forms with the disclaimer printed on the back (results were not unlike dot-matrix, was difficult to 'kern' and/or add fields, etc.). At the bottom of the front, it would say "SEE REVERSE SIDE IF YOU WISH TO CONTEST DENIAL" (the disclaimer).
Thanks to FOP, we now generate the entire bill without the need for pre-printed forms. And they look *beautiful*! However, since FOP doesn't currently accommodate "double-sided printing", or other PostScript-type features like tray loading, etc. I had to come up with a solution to including the DISCLAIMER with the form.
SOLUTION:
XSL-FO with 2 page-sequences, with the 2nd page-sequence appended after the 1st page-sequence, and the <fo:block id="endofdoc"/>. On the bottom of the 1st page-sequence it now says "SEE PAGE <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="endofdoc"/> IF YOU WISH TO CONTEST DENIAL" (which points to the last page). We had to get this approved/certified by the state of New York, but they like the new system better!
I don't know if this will help, but I hope it does!
