Having problems with Margins

[reddykvs]

I am trying to create a PDF from an XML file using FOP.
I have a background that needs to have zero margins so that it fits the page. The content has a margin. The margins that I have given for the content is being applied to the first page alone. From the second page onwards, the content is takign a top margin of ZERO. The Left and right margins are being applied properly.
Can anyone help me on this. I have been struggling with this for quite some time.

Below is the XSL code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="reportstart">
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="mypage" page-height="11in" page-width="8.5in" margin-top="0" margin-bottom="0" margin-left="0" margin-right="0">
<fo:region-body background-image="ppdf06d_72.png" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="mypage" >
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" >
<fo:block font-size="7pt" font-family="Courier" font-weight="bold" font-style="normal" margin-top="0.5in" margin-bottom="0.2in" margin-left="0.3in" margin-right="0.3in">
<xsl:apply-templates select="report" />
</fo:block>

</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="report">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dataline">
<fo:block linefeed-treatment="preserve" white-space-collapse="false" white-space-treatment="preserve">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('hard-pagebreak')">
<fo:block break-after="page"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hello,

That happened because you set the margins on a fo:flow. If you want the same margins on all pages you should set them on fo:region-body:

Code: Select all

    ...

    <fo:region-body background-image="ppdf06d_72.png" margin-top="0.5in" margin-bottom="0.2in" margin-left="0.3in" margin-right="0.3in"/>

    ...
