Hi,

i'm using prince 7.1 and am wonder to which padding is look when splitting tables? (@page) or (@page overruled by @bottom).
because if i turn the bottom padding for the first page to 0mm then the height of the footer (in @bottom) is ignored and the table splits at the bottom of the page (because of the 0mm) and behind my footer. (see attachement view-51.pdf)

Secondly why isnt my div footer "footer_first_page" shown at the bottom (in the footer section) like on the normal page (which is only an image)?

I have this page setup
all the flow()'s are div elements with 1 or more subelements

/* page definition */
@page:first
{
    size                : A4;
    margin              : 0mm;
    padding             : 54mm 0mm 135mm 0mm;

    @top-left
    {
        padding-top     : 140px;
        padding-left    : 48px;
        content         : flow(logo);
    }

    @top-right
    {
        padding-top     : 193.5px;
        padding-right   : 42px;
        content         : flow(logo_intermed);
    }

    @bottom
    {
        content         : flow(footer_first_page);
    }
}
@page
{
    size                : A4;
    margin              : 0mm;
    padding             : 54mm 0mm 20mm 0mm;

    @top-left
    {
        padding-top     : 140px;
        padding-left    : 48px;
        content         : flow(logo);
    }

    @top-right
    {
        padding-top     : 193.5px;
        padding-right   : 42px;
        content         : flow(logo_intermed);
    }

    @bottom
    {
        padding-bottom  : 38px;
        content         : url(../img/pdf/footer.jpg);
        prince-image-resolution : 300dpi;
    }
}

I'm not quite sure what you mean. You can try adding some borders to the page, to show the size of the page body area and the page margin boxes:

@page {
    border: solid red thin;
    @top { border: solid red thin }
    @bottom { border: solid red thin }
}

This can make it easier to see what is going on.
