FYI I tried latest fop 2.0 from https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ on my Ubuntu 12.04 to see if it fixes problem where body goes into footer on pdf page with informaltable. It still did. It also failed to build the mobi and epub Help documentation. I went thru the many thousands of lines in the log but I couldn't see the problem. I've gone back to Ubuntu standard fop 1.0.dfsg2-6.
