Hi Ken,
I was able to proceed with this and got stuck as its overwriting on the
first page only. Each of the employee tags need to go into a separate
page in the pdf. When I am creating the pdf its writing on the first
page only without advancing to the next page. Can you please point out
the mistake in my xsl template. A sample xml & xsl is below:
<resultset>
<employee>
<row>
<data_description>Payment Company</data_description>
<data_value>ABC UK Ltd</data_value>
<data_display_type>1</data_display_type>
<display_order>10</display_order>
</row>
<row>
<data_description>Employee Name</data_description>
<data_value>Mr A Lastname</data_value>
<data_display_type>2</data_display_type>
<display_order>10</display_order>
</row>
...
</employee>
<employee>
...
</employee>
.
.
</resultset>
My xsl template is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

Each of the person tags need to go into a separate page in the pdf.
Can somebody please guide me with a sample xsl-fo template.
I hope this helps.
