Ok... just found out that this behavior is controled by a attribute in the before/after regions called "precedence"... ;)
Now my page definition works like a charm... and i manage to build "bleed" areas on the headers and footers... (that's why the 3mm margins are for) and paint all the printing area with a color (hmmm... the PDF is exported to cmyk and that color maps to the cyan channel which will be converted at the printing process to a pantone color... or something like that... what it matters is that i can assign it to 10% of that pantone this way)... Cheers... LF P.S.- the other issues still stand thru... (either need more "enligntment" like this one... or are "features" as some would say hehehe) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <!-- layout information --> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="base05" page-height="297mm" page-width="210mm" margin-top="18mm" margin-bottom="18mm" margin-left="17mm" margin-right="17mm"> <fo:region-body region-name="corpo" margin-top="22mm" margin-bottom="20mm" margin-left="3mm" margin-right="3mm" background-color="#F2F2FF"/> <fo:region-before precedence="true" region-name="cabecalho" extent="22mm" background-color="#F2F2FF"/> <fo:region-after precedence="true" region-name="rodape" extent="20mm" background-color="#F2F2FF"/> <fo:region-start region-name="esquerda" extent="3mm" background-color="#F2F2FF"/> <fo:region-end region-name="direita" extent="3mm" background-color="#F2F2FF"/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <!-- end: defines page layout --> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="base05"> <fo:static-content flow-name="cabecalho"> <fo:block> 1 </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:static-content flow-name="rodape"> <fo:block> 2 </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:static-content flow-name="esquerda"> <fo:block> 3 </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:static-content flow-name="direita"> <fo:block> 4 </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:flow flow-name="corpo"> <fo:block> 5 </fo:block> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Page-definitions-%28thrunk-svn-20060808%29-tf2082653.html#a5739239 Sent from the FOP - Users forum at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
