strange behaviour of footers

["Brienen, SJP (Stefan)" <S....@rf.rabobank.nl>]

Hello,

I am trying a very simple thing with fop. That is creating a document with a
different header on the first page and the same header on all other pages.
The same is for the start region (the same for all pages except the first
one). The footer is the same on every page though.
Now I tried two things:

First I did the normal thing, that is defining the after-regions without a
region-name attribute and defining 1 static-content referencing
xsl-region-after. The generated PDF document gives me a footer on the first
page, and for the rest of the pages on every even page.

Second I tried to name the after-regions as in the code-snippet below. I
then defined two static-contents with the same content, referencing the
named region. In this case a footer is displayed on the first page and then
on every odd page.

What is the problem? Am I doing anything wrong here?

Please help me.

regards
Sander Brienen

Your footer has too much content. Look at the error messages,
there should be a "some static content did not fit the area"
somewhere.
Either delete some content from the footer, or increase the extent.
