Chris,

If it helps, I'm using Apache FOP 0.95 and it may be a bug...

That it may. Setting up a reduced testing sample can help establish this.

Also, other FO engines have trial/testing versions you can use to cross-check your FO.

Within the document, the page numbers are working correctly. Page sequence to page sequence, the numbering is correct (pages 1-500) in the outputted pdf. I also know that the identifier is unique because when I do <fo:page-sequence id="english"> and then reference it using <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="english"> (from another <fo:page-sequence>), it generates a page-number correctly. However, if I instead insert an <fo:block id="english"> (or <fo:inline id="english">) and remove the id from the <fo:page-sequence>, <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="english"> no longer generates a page number. I get an "WARNING: Unresolved id reference 'english' found."

I assume you have examined your FO code directly to confirm that everything is right there.

The problem is referenced here, but I can't believe there's not a work around: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/fo.html (scroll down to "Total Document Pages")

Hm: this does suggest there's may be issue when you have more than one page-sequence. Which there really shouldn't be. Have you tried modifying to run everything into a single sequence? If that works, you know something.

As for a workaround, I'm not sure what that would look like. The functionality you want is, or ought to be, solidly within scope for ordinary behavior. On the other hand, XSL formatting engines are not trivial pieces of software, and to ask for it for free is asking a lot.

Cheers,
Wendell
