As I said, "I'm not sure how you're trying to print the footer values". Is this part of your flow? Static content? Maybe you can provide a snippet of your XSL where you need this and I could help you correct it?
I don't know how you're using FOP or how much flexibility you have with your application. It may be easier in my case. I am using embedded code. I am generating my XML input with a program which calculates what fits on a page and where and passes in a value for the XSL to place text to absolute positioning, so I can have a header and footer area but it's all done in that program which generates the XML so I'm not using the XSL tags for header, footer, or static content. Everything is in the flow in the body. I'd have to test it, but my guess is if there's an fo tag which prints a value for the last page number, you should be able to get that value into an xsl variable for conditional processing if you're printing in the flow. -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Müller [mailto:pym...@yahoo.de] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2010 3:31 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: AW: Indicate Last Page i already display "page X of Y" at the page bottom. what i need is a special fo processing for the last page. ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ---- Von: Eric Douglas <edoug...@blockhouse.com> An: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Gesendet: Mittwoch, den 25. August 2010, 17:03:18 Uhr Betreff: RE: Indicate Last Page 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. -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Müller [mailto:pym...@yahoo.de] Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 8:38 AM To: fop-users xmlgraphics 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 ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
