Hi All,

Here is the background to my question.

We have been using FOP for a few years to generate PDF output. The FOP
stylesheet includes blocks with text and images, and a table. Every block
above the table is always absolute positioned. Blocks beneath the table are
relative positioned -i.e. space-before and start-indent so that they
respect the distance from the bottom of the table.

The number of rows in the table varies, so when the table height is such
that it needs to spill over a second page, it does it well, and all the
blocks beneath it keep the original distance from the bottom of the table
and are also in the second page.

Now we are trying to introduce headers and footers -i.e. region-before and
region-after in the simple-page-master, and added corresponding margins top
and bottom to the region-body. It works well !

The issue is in situations where the table height pushes the elements
beneath (relative positioned) to the second page. In this case, this blocks
can appear on the second page, and overlap with the second page header.

Is there an attribute/flag we are missing that will force the blocks
spilling over to the second page to respect the header and will not overlap
with it ?

Thank you very much in advance !

Fernando
