First page contents are widely spaced out

[Prashant Gupta <pk...@apar.com>]

Hello Everybody,
  I  am generating PDF using FOP. The pages contain a set of invoices.  Each
invoice data is placed
In a table. My problem is that in the first page there is too much space
between the  data rows(in the table) .
But , in rest of the pages the data is properly spaced.
 I can't understand how this is happening?
Can anyone please help to crack this issue?

Below is the code snippet :
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
             xmlns:fox="http://xml.apache.org/fop/extensions">
      <!-- defines page layout -->
      <fo:layout-master-set>
        <!-- layout for the first page -->
        <!--
        <fo:simple-page-master master-name="Invoice" page-height="29.7cm"
                               page-width="21cm" margin-top="1cm"
                               margin-bottom="2cm" margin-left="1cm"
                               margin-right="1cm">
          <fo:region-body margin-top="1.5cm" />
          <fo:region-before extent="1.5cm" />
          <fo:region-after extent="1.5cm" />
        </fo:simple-page-master>
        -->
        <fo:simple-page-master master-name="InvoiceImage"
page-height="29.7cm"
                               page-width="21cm" margin-top="1cm"
                               margin-bottom="2cm" margin-left="1.5cm"
                               margin-right="1.5cm">
          <fo:region-body margin-top="1.5cm" />
          <fo:region-before extent="1.5cm" />
          <fo:region-after extent="1.5cm" />
        </fo:simple-page-master>
        <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="InvoicePackaging">
          <!--
          <fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference="Invoice" />
          -->
          <fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference="InvoiceImage"
/>
        </fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<xsl:apply-templates select="invoice"/>
........
....
<xsl:template match="invoice">
    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="InvoicePackaging">
      <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
        <fo:block-container height="44cm" width="18cm"
                            top="0cm" left="0cm" position="absolute">
<xsl:apply-templates select="core" />
.....
......
<xsl:template match="core">
    <fo:table table-layout="fixed" space-after.optimum="6pt"
border-collapse="separate">
      <fo:table-column column-width="100mm" />
      <fo:table-column column-width="80mm" />
      <fo:table-column column-width="40mm" />
      <fo:table-body>
        <fo:table-row>
          <fo:table-cell background-color="lightgrey">
            <fo:block font-weight="bold">

Thanks in advance to everyone for the help.

There's not much to guess from an incomplete *stylesheet*. I
suspect you get whitespace drawn in from the XML source. Produce
and post a small FO file for more accurate help.

Your first page contains an absolutely placed block-container,
this may also be part of the problem.
