setting border for a page for pdf output

["Roche, Conrad (Cognizant)" <Co...@cognizant.com>]

Hi,

I need to provide a border to the pages in the pdf file.

I tried specifing it thus -

<fo:layout-master-set>
    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="first-page">
      <fo:region-body margin="1in" border="thin silver ridge"
                                      padding="6pt"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>

But the output didn't contain any borders!

Trying the same on a block worked though.

Isn't page border supported? If it is, how do I specify a page border?

thanks
Conrad

The spec says borders are not valid on regions. See this thread from the archives:

the border style "ridge" is not implemented in FOP. It probably fell back to 
"solid"
