Because the XSL-FO interpretation is arms-length from the XSLT transformation, one must always express the desired conditional processing in the stylesheet before the XSL-FO processor acts on the resulting transformation. An example of such conditional processing is the set of "keep" properties.

Is there a way in FO to test if I've reach the end of the page and if I just
started a new page.

No there is not. You need to give the FO processor contingencies for being at the start of a page, rather than asking to go to the start of a new page.

You haven't described *why* you need to do a test ... chances are if your formatting requirement is quite ordinary that XSL-FO will be able to do what you want with a particular property or two and that you are only asking your question in the incorrect way.

I hope this helps.
