    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> 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?
