setting border for a page for pdf output

Hi,

I'm using the velocity engine for generating pdf outputs. 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

You didn't mention anything that has to do with Velocity.  I assume
you're using Velocity to generate the xml that later generates the pdf
file.  Velocity has nothing to do with generating the pdf file, just
generating the output of your Velocity template (the xml).  If you
need to know the proper way to specify your xml to get a border to
appear, this is a question for PDF gurus.  If you can't figure out how
to get the desired output from a Velocity template, then you come to
this list after checking the archives and User Guide.

Hi,

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