An XML file with data is generated and used with XSL to build a PDF. I have alloted fixed heights to each section of the PDF.

The table over flows from the first page to the next and the signature block position also gets altered as i am using co-ordinates from the left bottom corner of the page.

You can try to place everything in absolutely placed block
containers. However, because FOP 0.20.5 doesn't implement
overflow clipping, nor enforcing max-heigth settings, you
are probably out of luck with pure FO coding. You can try
to use SVG and do the clipping in SVG, however, you'll
probably have to rely on Batik's flowText extension and also
be ready to wrangle with font and spacing issues.

Recreating paper forms using FO isn't all that easy (and
BTW I think it is also a really stupid idea).
