I have a word document (.doc) that I have converted to an XSL-FO so that I can add a user's input, but the conversion wasn't the greatest so I am modifying the FO to match the original word document. The word document has line numbers going down the left side of each page. See screenshot of original .doc file. I found this article to be somewhat useful thanks to Dimitre Novatchev's answer, but I get a Stack Overflow exception with his solution. Mr. AH had a great solution, but I don't like the idea of manually adding the line number to every line on each page. Each page has 28 lines.
Is there something I can do that is similar to a header or footer?
Or would it make sense to create the line numbers with an image and insert the image on each page?
I'm using Apache's FOP 1.0 library with Java driving in the background. (upgrading to 2.0 is not an option)
