Hi, IIUC, you want to have the copyright block only at the bottom of the 1st column of the 1st page. AFAIK, there is no FO solution for that; in one page, all columns will have same height (at least regarding XSL-FO REC 1.1). That said, you can easily change the 1st page body, , and put your copyright cartouche in a static region of the 1st page (in absolute position, if you want).
If your requirement is to change the only 1st page/1st column height, the only solution I can imagine is: - add a space before to the 1st fo:block, - and tweak the FOP intermediate format (see [1]) to move up the 1st column area. Note that there is an open issue when using footnote in multicolumn (see [2]).
