You can get the number of the last page by ending your fo:flow section with
this:
<fo:block>
<xsl:attribute name="id">last-page</xsl:attribute>
Then you can print the last page number inline in your text area with this:
<fo:page-number-citation ref-id="last-page"/>
All I do is print it but I would guess you could use that logic to print
something based on that?
For comparison, <fo:page-number /> gives you the current page number.
I'm not sure how you're trying to print the footer values, if you can use the
fo tag at that point.

Subject: Indicate Last Page
Hi there,
i need to indicate the single pages on my output pdf in the footer area:
- if there are following pages with a "+"
- if it's the last page with a "-"
i already posted a similar question 2 years ago and didn't receive a working
hint. back then i worked with FOP 0.20.5, so maybe something has changed
meanwhile. here is the most useful answer:
"Is this possible?
No, for various reasons. The most important one is that the processing is done
in two passes.
The first pass is the XSL transformation. The elements prefixed with xsl: are
instructions for the XSLT processor, which generates an intermediate XML
document consisting of elements in the FO namespace, commonly prefixed with
fo:. The FO elements are not processed by the XSLT processor, therefore FO
stuff like page numbers are not available to the XSLT processor. In particular
there is no way to check whether something is on the last page during XSLT
processing.
The second pass is the formatting, done by formatting processors like FOP. At
this point, all xsl: elements are already gone, there is no xsl:if available to
the FO processor.
There are some possibilities in the XSLFO standard to define limited special
processing for the last rendered page of a page sequence, unfortunately, they
are not yet implemented in FOP."
maybe with FOP 1.0?
any hints welcome ;-)
