Problem with report tail
Hi, there!
I have problem. I should generate PDF file. This report has 2 parts e.g.
body and tail.
If there is enough space for tail on a page after body, tail should be
on the same page like page footer.
If there is not enough space for tail on a page after body, tail should
be on the next page like page footer.
If body has one and half page, tail should be on the second place like
page footer.
Should be many these reports in one PDF file
I use FOP version 0.20.5 and XSL transformation for report generation.
Help me, please.
Miroslav

No it wont. In 0.20.5 page generation stops after the main flow
runs out of content, regardless whether there's pending content
from footnotes. This is a known defect.

I dont understand what you mean. If you insert footnote at end of body, then
footnote should appear on last page that content spills onto. Are you sure you
are putting the footnote at end of your content?

Sorry, but footnotes not workin properly. If body has more than one
page, footnote prints on the first page, but footnote inline there is
after body.

I think you misunderstood what Miroslav wanted. He replied saying the
keep-together worked for him.

If you need to ensure content is always placed at the bottom of the last page,
then I suggest you try putting this content into a fo:footnote.

Hi,
but how do you force the tail to be placed at the bottom of the page 2
if 2 pages are needed? If I understood what Miroslav asked.
I'm very interested in the solution because I need the same
functionnality but I use fo:block-container with absolute position but I
have to manage overlap problems...
Thank you.

It sounds to me like you need to keep the tail together, i.e. so there are no
page-breaks part way through the tail. In XSL-FO, you can put
keep-together="always" on a block to achieve what you want. However,
keep-together is only supported on a table-row in FOP.
You can place your tail content into a table with 1 row and 1 cell, and put
keep-together="always" on the table-row. This should have the desired effect.

Hi.
Thanks, but "tail" is not last page in PDF file. It looks like many
reports into one report. How can I do this...
I think solution of my problem is checking rest place on the page. Can
I get it using XSL-FO?

Hi,
Alternatively you can say that you are trying to make last page special.
Have a look on the following link that makes first page special.
http://xml.apache.org/fop/fo.html#fo-first-page
You can replace first page with last page.
Hope that solves your problem of last page/footer.
Cheers.
