RE: Sequential page numbers on alternate pages
J, Thanks for the direction with the markers it managed to provide a solution. Wish there was less trickier way to handle this in the XSL-FO standards :-) like being able to control the page sequence with the fo:page-number / tag. But the problem has been address for now, and thank you very much for the help.

You can try playing tricks with markers. Get a rough estimate for the middle of the data pages, place a marker there, like fo:marker marker-class=logical-page-no3/fo:marker and reference the marker in the footer instead of using fo:page-number.

You could also try using a post-processing application[1] like iText to insert additional pages.

RE: Sequential page numbers on alternate pages
Thanks J. Looks like we will have to play with markers. We'll give it a shot and see what come out of it. Clay, we don't yet have the option of using a post-processing application (iText). We did consider it as a solution. Thank you both for your responses. Hope to get this to work soon. -Original Message- From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 1:20 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Sequential page numbers on alternate pages Anil Pinto wrote: Now the requirement that is causing us a headache :-) is that only pages with data need to show page numbers and only sequenced on the data pages, ...
