[xep-support] variable page size

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Laurent,

Surely flow content can't affect page size in XSL-FO. However I was
talking about use of XSLT preprocessing in order to pre-define page
size somehow. If you describe your use case/workflow in more details
I'll try to make more specific suggestions.

Best regards,

LFma> Hi Alexander,

>>>If you know your advertisement size beforehand you can generate
LFma> that's exactly what I don't know. The text in the ad will determin the final size of the page. I would like to find out the size of the page that the flow has generated.

LFma> I don't think this can be done with XSL-FO. :-(

LFma> Thanks,
LFma> Laurent Frinking

LFma> Hello Laurent,

LFma> I'm not quite sure I understood your requirements fully.

LFma> The size of the page can be specified explicitly at
LFma> fo:simple-page-master element using page-width/page-height properties.
LFma> If you know your advertisement size beforehand you can generate
LFma> appropriate XSL-FO using XSLT stylesheet which, for example, takes
LFma> advertisement size as a parameter.

LFma> Hope this helps.

LFma>> Imagine an advertisement generator for a newspaper based on XML + XSL-FO. 
LFma>> Is it possible to generate a PDF with a variable page size? I would like find out the generated size of the advertisement for accounting purposes.

LFma>> If the advertisement has a size 200 mm -> $ xxx
201 - 300 ->>> $yyy
LFma>> etc etc

LFma>> Does anyone know if this can be done at all, or should I look for different approach to determine the size of the advertisement?

LFma>> Thanks,
