FO - Force Pages on same spread
Hi,
I'm preparing a FO document in order to generate a
catalog book. I would like to have two pages together
such that they are on the same spread i.e. if the
first page is an even page(left) then the next would
be the following odd pages(right) making it on the
same spread. On the other hand if the first page falls
on an odd page(right), I would like to force a blank
page and start it as an even page(left) so that the
second page is an odd page(right) making it on the
same spread.
How can I achieve this? Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you.
Prakash

Yes. Put break-before="odd" on the block that starts the content of the
two pages.

Teus,
assuming you have ant installed just running
ant
in the directory you have checked out fop trunk to should suffice.

Building fop trunk

Hi,
Http://xml.apache.org/fop/compiling.html describes how to build FOP from
source code and it refers to a script called build.sh. When downloading
all the source code using svn co
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk, it appears the
script build.sh is not there. How to proceed?

Re: FO - Force Pages on same spread
Posted by Prakash R <ra...@yahoo.com>.
Let me try to explain this with an example.
I have a document which has say 10 pages. Within this
document somewhere in between I have 2 pages(page
number not known until the PDF is generated) which are
consecutive and are someway related. So I would like
for these two pages to be side-by-side (on 2 different
pages) as when you open a book i.e. first page is on
left and second page on right (even followed by odd)
in the generated PDF.
If by virtue of the XML the first page ends up being
on the right, I want to force a blank page before so
that the first page comes on the left which will
automatically lay the second page on the right (making
these 2 pages side-by-side).
Hope this clarifies my requirement.
Thank you.

I'm still not sure I understand you correctly, but then I think you need
to look at fo:conditional-page-master-reference which allows you to
specify separate simple-page-masters for odd and even pages.

I meant putting the two pages on two different pages
but making sure they are side by side like when you
open the book you can see the pages side by side(i.e.
on the same spread).
Thank you.

Are you talking about imposition (two-up)? Putting two pages besides
each other on one piece of paper? FOP can't do that, yet. You'd have to
use a third-party tool to do that.
