Re: Problem using FOP....

Sonke,

I have seen this before, I followed it using the debugger.
Until I decided to go around it. I think you have multiple
pages, and you are specifying a single page.

at the top of you XSL or FO document specify this


<!-- defines the layout master -->
<!-- in other words the way the margins relate to the page -->
<!-- the way the pages are styled even pages one way, odd -->
<!-- pages another way, first page one way, other pages, etc.. -->
<fo:layout-master-set>
  <fo:simple-page-master page-master-name="first" ..>
  </fo:simple-page-master>

  <fo:simple-page-master page-master-name="rest" ..>
  </fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>

and somewhere down in one of your templates
you shoudl have....

<!-- starts actual layout of the document -->
<!-- some static-content is first defined such as the header -->
<!-- and footer then a <fo:flow ..> element is defined to flow -->
<!-- the content of the body -->
<fo:page-sequence>
  <!-- applies layout master to this page-sequence -->
  <fo:sequence-specification>
    <fo:sequence-specifier-repeating	
      page-master-first="first"
      page-master-repeating="rest"/>
    </fo:sequence-specification>

Notice that there is a "first" page layout and 
the "rest" page layout.

Good luck
