Page brake not working in production of PDF

Currently I am working on a military project that was authored by a vendor and returned in really bad shape. I have most of the bugs worked out with the exception of the page/table breaks.

The document is structured into work packages and when processed into a PDF text the tables break across pages ignoring the current XML page break coding <?foPageBreak ?>. The page break statement currently used is for forcing text to the next page as well as trying to break tables across multiple pages, which does not seem correct.

We are using a tool called CECOM Compose tool that generates the PDF from the XML, so I am not sure how the style sheet processes the page breaks. Can someone provide some help on how to get the text and table breaks to properly work?

Hello,

What schema do the XML documentation files use: DITA, Docbook, etc? With what schemas can the CECOM Compose tool work? I could not find this tool for download and trial.

For example in Docbook XML documents a page break can be inserted in a custom location in the PDF result by the process described here.
