know number of pages in end pdf without actually making it
Is there a way to know the number of pages in the final pdf document generated from FOP without actually doing its generation? The XML content being pulled in for the pdf generation is dynamic and so the number of pages being generated at the end would change too based on this. Was wondering if there was someway of grabbing the number of pages being generated in a 2 pass sequence. As in 1st pass: XML + XSL - FO 2nd pass: FO - PDF Any help would be appreciated.

You say you need changing content in the header and footer. That's what table-markers [3][4] from XSL 1.1 are for. But unfortunately, this hasn't been implemented, yet. So the only thing you can try is putting your header and footer content in the region-before and the region-after of the page. There you can work with fo:retrieve-marker [5] to access content you specify in fo:marker [6] elements.

Populate table with blank cells/rows
Is there a way to populate a table (which overflows onto page 2) with empty rows/cells until a particular margin(..in this case until the footer i.e. the region-after section) when the contents have already been obtained from the xml? Sometimes data in the xml can wrap onto the next line in the resulting pdf (as the column width is smaller in the table specs). So it creates a problem where just simply counting the number of lines which have been populated so far doesn't work. Have tried setting a row height with blank data to make the empty row(s) but setting a static height to fill is only possible when it is known how much of the region -body has already been filled, which in this case won't be possible to know due to the word wrapping issue.

Well, as the error message says, FOP doesn't support that, yet. FOP
currently expects that the flow-name of the fo:flow maps to the
region-body in the simple-page-master.
If it were:
fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body
it would work.
I know this is generally possible, but I guess it is too exotic and
nobody cared to implement that possibility, yet.
Obviously no one has implemented it since then.

Abhishek,
I don't think you're hitting a limitation of FOP. Eric has a point. It
appears that the FO you're generating is not valid and that's why FOP
shows errors. To debug the situation I suggest you take FOP out of the
picture for the moment and just run your XSLT transformation. Then take
a look at the FO file that is generated and fix your stylesheet as
necessary. As a convenience, FOP offers to run just the XSLT
transformation on the command-line:
fop -xml my.xml -xsl my.xml -foout out.fo
It can be difficult to debug problems if you always run both the XSLT
transformation and the FO layout at the same time.
Good luck!

However I am able to generate an FO from my xsl and xml but unable to

just through fo alone.
So this may just be a limitation of FOP. If nothing else works, I will
probably be looking at iText to solve this issue now.

I assume that simple is a simple-page-master. Create a second
simple-page-master called, say, blank-page which is a copy of simple
with one difference: Define the region-body in blank-page as
fo:region-body region-name=blank/
You'll then need an fo:page-sequence-master that looks something like
this:

Take the page break off the fo:block as well. If you use that
