Indicate Last Page
Hi there,
i need to indicate the single pages on my output pdf in the footer area:
- if there are following pages with a "+"
- if it's the last page with a "-"
i already posted a similar question 2 years ago and didn't receive a working
hint. back then i worked with FOP 0.20.5, so maybe something has changed
meanwhile. here is the most useful answer:
"Is this possible?
No, for various reasons. The most important one is that the
processing is done in two passes.
The first pass is the XSL transformation. The elements prefixed
with xsl: are instructions for the XSLT processor, which
generates an intermediate XML document consisting of elements
in the FO namespace, commonly prefixed with fo:. The FO elements
are not processed by the XSLT processor, therefore FO stuff like
page numbers are not available to the XSLT processor. In
particular there is no way to check whether something is on the
last page during XSLT processing.
The second pass is the formatting, done by formatting processors
like FOP. At this point, all xsl: elements are already gone,
there is no xsl:if available to the FO processor.
There are some possibilities in the XSLFO standard to define
limited special processing for the last rendered page of a page
sequence, unfortunately, they are not yet implemented in FOP."
maybe with FOP 1.0?
any hints welcome ;-)

Hi Matthias,
Sounds like a job for markers. Does the attached FO file help?

Hi Matthias
Have you looked at Conditional Pages?
<page-sequence-master master-name="whatever">
<repeatable-page-master-alternatives maximum-repeats="1">
<conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="only-page-layout"
page-position="last"/>
<conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="first-page-layout"
page-position="first"/>
</repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<repeatable-page-master-alternatives maximum-repeats="no-limit">
<conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="last-page-layout"
page-position="last"/>
<conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="rest-page-layout"
page-position="rest"/>
</repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</page-sequence-master>
Kind regards
Stuart Scott

You can get the number of the last page by ending your fo:flow section with
this:
<fo:block>
<xsl:attribute name="id">last-page</xsl:attribute>
Then you can print the last page number inline in your text area with this:
<fo:page-number-citation ref-id="last-page"/>
All I do is print it but I would guess you could use that logic to print
something based on that?
For comparison, <fo:page-number /> gives you the current page number.
I'm not sure how you're trying to print the footer values, if you can use the fo
tag at that point.

As I said, "I'm not sure how you're trying to print the footer values".
Is this part of your flow? Static content? Maybe you can provide a snippet of your XSL where you need this and I could help you correct it?
I don't know how you're using FOP or how much flexibility you have with your application. It may be easier in my case. I am using embedded code. I am generating my XML input with a program which calculates what fits on a page and where and passes in a value for the XSL to place text to absolute positioning, so I can have a header and footer area but it's all done in that program which generates the XML so I'm not using the XSL tags for header, footer, or static content. Everything is in the flow in the body. I'd have to test it, but my guess is if there's an fo tag which prints a value for the last page number, you should be able to get that value into an xsl variable for conditional processing if you're printing in the flow.
