This section will explain you how to number pages based on the number of pages in the generated PDF vs. the number of pages in each FO document being merged in.

 

In order to use the total number of pages, you have to build a DAL (Document Assembly Line) job that will reference all the individual FOs.

In each FO to be merged you will have to include the following syntax in one of the static contents:

 

 

Page <fo:page-number/> of <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="xf#theEnd"/>

 

 

 

In the example below we will use two FOs to create a PDF. The syntax above will be included in the header of each FO document.

 

The first FO named "FirstFO.fo" is:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:xf="http://www.ecrion.com/xf/1.0" xmlns:xc="http://www.ecrion.com/2008/xc" xmlns:xfd="http://www.ecrion.com/xfd/1.0" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">

               <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after" font-size="12pt" font-family="Times">

                       <fo:block font-weight="bold" background-color="rgb(255,255,153)">

                               First FO document.

                       </fo:block>

               </fo:flow>

       </fo:page-sequence>

</fo:root>

 

The second FO named "SecondFO.fo" is:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

                       <fo:block font-weight="bold" background-color="rgb(255,255,153)">

                               Second FO document.

                       </fo:block>

               </fo:flow>

       </fo:page-sequence>

</fo:root>

 

The DAL job will reference both of the individual FOs:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xfj:job xmlns:xfj="http://www.ecrion.com/xfj/1.0">

       <xfj:output mime-type="application/pdf"/>

       <xfj:document id="doc1">

               <xfj:external-content src="FirstFO.fo"/>

       </xfj:document>

       <xfj:document id="doc2">

               <xfj:external-content src="SecondFO.fo"/>

       </xfj:document>        

</xfj:job>
