putting a header in every PDF page

["Sampige, Srinivas" <sr...@boeing.com>]

Hi
*	 I am getting rows from a database in XML format. I am representing
each row as a table in the .fo file ; so when FOP renders it the PDF file
eventually turns them out over multiple pages(I guess Acrobat Reader is
intelligent enough to put it accross multiple pages). But  what I want is
that the header information be displayed on all the subsequent pages
automatically.
		  What happens presently is that the "header" tag  in the
incoming XML is represented by a fo:table having "yellow" background; which
displays the column titles. This table appears only in the first page.How do
I make this header table appear in all pages? I don't want to control how
many rows appear in one page by putting that information in the XML say by
having <page>.. </page> to signify a page.

Attached - "jeffReport.xml",",jeffReport.xsl" & "jeff.fo". This is how the
eventual pdf appears (if you notice the yellow header appears only on the
first page. I want it to appear on all the pages)-

Look at docs/examples/fo/readme.fo for an example. The interesting part
is: <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">, but look at the
page-master, too. I'd look for a good tutorial on XSL:FO.

And next time please don't post attachments that big. Not everybody has
a leased line at home!
