I am using Apache's XML Graphics FOP 2.6 to create a PDF document containing at least 2 pages. There is no maximum number of pages.
The exact same header is used on every page.
Page 1 (see attached)
Needs to contain text with the total number of boxes, the total number of items included in the total number of boxes and a table with 1, 2 or 3 rows. On each row, there is a photo of the box, its name and the number of items it contains. There will be at least one box containing at least one item.
Page 2
Exists only if there are 4 or more boxes and it contains rows 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 (6 rows in total) of the table from Page 1. If there are more than 9 (= 3 + 6 X 1) boxes, there needs to be a new page that will contain the layout from Page 2, but containing the rows for boxes 10, ..., 15. This pattern will be followed until the last box.
Page 3
Will contain the photo, name and number of items of the first box. Underneath there will be a table, with a row containing the column names and at most 4 rows, corresponding to the first 4 items from the first box.
Page 4
If the first box has more than 4 items, there will be new page, called Page 4, containing only the continuation of the table, including the row with the column names. It will have 7 items in total and be followed by another page if the first box has more than 11 (= 4 + 7 X 1) items. And so on until the end of all items.
Page 5 (not attached to avoid repetition)
Will follow the same logic as Page 3, but in this case for the second box, if there is a second box. And so on until the end of all boxes.
Can anyone, please help me with an idea on how to build the layout-master-set in the XSL file for my requirements? I am not looking for the entire solution. Only for the general layout structure. The answer does not have to be too detailed or too bespoke for my needs. I can adapt it if needed.
<xsl:template match="/doc">
<xsl:variable name="Logo"><xsl:value-of select="Logo"/></xsl:variable>

</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
I have tried the code above (using xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"), but have failed in getting things to be laid out appropriately. The rows of the table that do not fit on a page do not get displayed on the following page, even though I mark appropriate rows with break-before="page" aka page-break-before="always".
As an aid, I can insert the indices from the backend data structure into the parameters used by the library so that I know each element's index.
Thank you very much.

What you really call "Page 1", "Page 2" ... you really mean this:
Section 1 which is all the boxes. This could be 1 to x pages depending on the quantity of boxes. All the page templates are the same so this is one page sequence with one page master.
Section 2 to n which is a page sequence for each box listing all the items. All of these page sequences are the same (one simple page master).
You do not explain what photo 1 and photo 2 are in the header for these but I would assume they are the same for every page. If that is not true and are different for "boxes" and "items" then possibly you may have different headers.
So you only have two simple-page-masters one called "boxes" and one called "items". You would just create the "boxes" page-sequence referencing the simple-page-master for boxes. You do not present a sample XML, so let's just say it looks like this for simplicity:
<order>
<box>
<name>Box 1</name>
<items>
<item>Item 1:1</item>
<item>Item 1:2</item>
<item>Item 1:3</item>
</items>
</box>
<box>
<name>Box 2</name>
<items>
<item>Item 2:1</item>
<item>Item 2:2</item>
<item>Item 2:3</item>
</items>
</box>
<box>
<name>Box 3</name>
<items>
<item>Item 3:1</item>
<item>Item 3:2</item>
<item>Item 3:3</item>
</items>
</box>
</order>
Then this simple XSL would throw pages for boxes and items in those boxes:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:template match="/">
<fo:root>
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="boxes" page-width="7in" page-height="4in">
<fo:region-body region-name="body" margin-top="0.5in" margin-bottom="0.5in" margin-left="0.5in" margin-right="0.5in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="items" page-width="7n" page-height="4in">
<fo:region-body region-name="body" margin-top="0.5in" margin-bottom="0.5in" margin-left="0.5in" margin-right="0.5in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<xsl:call-template name="boxes"/>
<xsl:call-template name="items"/>
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="boxes">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="boxes">
<fo:flow flow-name="body">
<!-- Output the table of boxes -->
<xsl:for-each select="/order/box">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="items">
<xsl:for-each select="/order/box">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="items">
<fo:flow flow-name="body">
<xsl:for-each select="items/item">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This results in:
Combining this with #Tony Graham's suggestion on doing the tables and you have the whole layout. If you wonder how that works with automatic page flows, here is the exact example above with a few more boxes and one box (Box 4) with more items ... I only changed the fo:block font-size to cause pagination.
Use fo:table, and for each fo:table-row specify height (https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#height) with a suitable value that will get you the required number of rows per page.
You may also need to specify keep-together.within-page="always" to avoid breaking a table row. FOP may or may not support that on fo:table-row (or fo:table-cell).
Im hoping someone can help me.
At the moment I create A4 Documents using FOP and XSLT. I have been asked to take these A4 (portrait) pages and then stitch them into an A3 booklet. So for example I have a 4 page A4 document which I need to convert into a 2 sided A3 booklet with the ability to order the first side using page 4 and 1 (side by side) and then the other side to be page 2 and 3.
I have looked at PDFBOX to see if it can do this but have had no success.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I could get the outcome that I need?
All help is appreciated!
You can do that with FOP if you wish and if you install the PDF Images Plug-In for FOP

Edit
In case you want it portrait for easier printing, simply switch the page-width and page-height of the simple-page-master and replace the four block-container lines containing the position="absolute" with
<fo:block-container height="29.7cm" width="21cm" top="0mm" left="0mm" position="absolute" reference-orientation="270">
...
<fo:block-container height="29.7cm" width="21cm" top="210mm" left="0mm" position="absolute" reference-orientation="270">
...
<fo:block-container height="29.7cm" width="21cm" top="0mm" left="0mm" position="absolute" reference-orientation="270">
...
<fo:block-container height="29.7cm" width="21cm" top="210mm" left="0mm" position="absolute" reference-orientation="270">
and if you have more than two pages don't forget to insert the

everywhere inbetween (after every second image)
I have this requirement wherein I need to create a PDS in 11 * 17 size and in landscape format with XSLT. I am able to create PDF in A4 page size using XSl FO.
My XSLT is as follow:

I am not sure where does have to make change in order to accomodate 11 * 17 size and landscape orientation.
Also, one of the column(header) name is "QualityPercent". I would like to change it to "Quality%"
Can anyone help?
Change page-height="27.9cm" page-width="21.6cm" to page-height="11in" page-width="17in".
There's also the size shorthand (see https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#size). If it's supported, you can use size="17in 11in". Some formatters (including AH Formatter: https://www.antenna.co.jp/AHF/help/en/ahf-ext.html#axf.size) recognise some set of keywords for the paper size, such that you can also use size="Ledger".
Edited:
Change:
<xsl:value-of select="translate(#Name,'_',' ')" />
to
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains(#Name, 'Percent')">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(#Name, 'Percent')" />
<xsl:text>%</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(#Name,'_',' ')" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
If you were using XSLT 2.0 (or 3.0), you could use replace() to more easily and accurately replace Percent with % in any #Name value.
I am using XSLT to generate PDF report. My requirements are to display page number in the format of Page N of N (e.g.Page 1 of 3) at the footer of the report. For static values it works fine and it repeats on each page. As total number of pages in the report are not known and it changes run time, so how I will accomplish this task.

I will replace the string (Page 1 of 1) by a variable but how to handle this.
Please help me.
I solved my problem by following below instructions.
Put a formatting object with an id at the end of the area. You can then do a to the labeled block that appears on the last page of the document. Here's how the markup looks:
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
... Lots and lots of content here
<fo:block id="TheVeryLastPage"> </fo:block>
</fo:flow>
The code creates a block with an id of TheVeryLastPage (a value that's unlikely to be used by anyone), and now you can refer to that id to get the page number of the last page of the document. Here's how the content in the area should look:
<fo:block text-align="end">
Page <fo:page-number/> of
<fo:page-number-citation
ref-id="TheVeryLastPage"/>
</fo:block>
When FOP formats this markup, it generates something like "Page 2 of 5".
My reference URL is: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/tutorials/x-xslfo2/section4.html
You should add an id attribute to your fo:page-sequence element, and then use a page-number-citation-last.
<fo:page-sequence id="my-sequence-id">
...
<xsl:text>Page </xsl:text>
<fo:page-number-citation />
<xsl:text> of </xsl:text>
<fo:page-number-citation-last page-citation-strategy="all" ref-id="my-sequence-id"/>
...
</fo:page-sequence>
See the specs: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslfo20/#fo_page-number-citation and http://www.w3.org/TR/xslfo20/#fo_page-number-citation-last
For the following xml file, i need to generate an xsl-fo file to be converted into pdf.
I am new to style sheets and struggling to create dynamic table. Please help.
Also, the width for each column varies,based on the column.How would i include this into the code?
The Column Headers and Column Values are dynamically populated in the xml file. Below is a sample.
Can anybody please help in generating xsl-fo or xslt code?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ReportData>
<ColumnHeaders>
<ColumnHeader>
<Name>Col-Header1</Name>
<Width>5</Length>
</ColumnHeader>
<ColumnHeader>
<Name>Col-Header2</Name>
<Width>10</Length>
</ColumnHeader>
<ColumnHeader>
<Name>Col-Header3</Name>
<Width>8</Length>
</ColumnHeader>

<Rows>
<Row>
<Column>Row1-Col1</Column>
<Column>Row1-Col2</Column>

<Row>
<Column>Row2-Col1</Column>
<Column>Row2-Col2</Column>
<Column>Row2-Col3</Column>
</Row>
</Rows>
</ReportData>
This should get you started. I used cm for the column width and the page is 11" x 8.5" (landscape) so the table would fit on the page. This should be easy for you to change.
