I've got a working XSL-FO document.
Some formatters work well on this document. The way it works is that you
have a conditional page master references for odd and even pages. The
region-body of an even page (that is supposed to contain the legal
information) has a padding-before equal to the page-height. Therefore all
text in the flow will wrap to a next page. The before region of these even
pages will then contain the legal text.
Some formatters don't seem to be able to handle the body region with no
actual space for text. I've also had good results with some formatters when
I renamed the region-body of the 'even' page-master to something else.
However, I'm not sure whether this approach is fully allowed by the XSL-FO
standard. (Anyone?)
Anyway, if this is not exacly what you want, it might show you the
direction...

Sent by: Subject: Double side document with legal information on the back

I would like to create a double side document where the "even" page will
always contain some legal information (E.g.: to print an invoice). On my
odd page, I have a header, a footer and a body which contains a table with
several rows. When the number of rows is too high, FOP decide to generate a
break and continue on the next page. My problem is that I would like to
insert my legal information after this break (every "even" page must
contain legal information)...Is there any way to do this in fo or do I need
to handle this in xsl?
My fo document looks like this:
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master margin-right="0.7cm" margin-left="0.7cm"
margin-bottom="0.5cm"
margin-top="0.75cm" page-width="21cm" page-height="29.7cm"
master-name="recto">
<fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before" extent
="11.5cm"/>
<fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body" margin-top="11.5cm"
margin-bottom="4cm"/>
<fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after" extent="4cm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master margin-right="0.7cm" margin-left="0.7cm"
margin-bottom="0.5cm"
margin-top="0.75cm" page-width="21cm" page-height="29.7cm"
master-name="verso">
<fo:region-body/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="all-pages">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="recto"
odd-or-even="odd"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="verso"
odd-or-even="even"/>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="all-pages">
<fo:static-content text-align="start" font-family="sans-serif"

</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content text-align="start" font-family="sans-serif"

<fo:flow text-align="start" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="8pt"

<fo:table border-top-color="black" border-top-style="solid"
border-top-width=".2mm"
