How do I add an inline footer to the last page only?
I’ve tried this, but last footer will not display:

{code}
```
<pd4ml:page.footer scope="2+,skiplast">
<div style="width:620px;">
<div style="padding: 0px 57px;">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="bottom" style="font-size: 9px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); text-align: right; ">Page: $[page] of $[total]</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</pd4ml:page.footer>
<pd4ml:page.footer scope="last">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="font-size: 8px;line-height:10px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: justify;">
last page

</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</pd4ml:page.footer>
```
{code}

PD4ML API/custom tags allow to define a scope for page header/footer. For example: scope=”1,2″, scope=”2+”, scope=”even”, scope=”skiplast”.

scope=”last” support is problematic to implement. In an extreme case the last page may have no space to place a footer: it should force a page break and the trailing footer goes to new page with no content, which is undesired.

In order to prevent it you may use a conditional page break to move some content (to make the last page not totally blank) and a footnote.

Example:
```
....
....
text text text ...

the last text section...
....
....
totals section
```
The page break will take effect only if the remaining vertical page space is less than 200px (and the last text section + footnote do not presumably fit it)

ifSpaceBelowLessThan parameter value for your document structure/layout needs to be found an empiric way.
