    Hi Alexander,

    >>If you know your advertisement size beforehand you can generate
    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.

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

    Thanks,
    Laurent Frinking

    Hello Laurent,

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

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

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards,
