I am creating a pdf (AntennaHouse) containing two columns of text 
and a signature at the end. What I want is for the signature to 
never be placed alone on a page. To do this I am using 
keep-with-previous.within-page on the signature blocks, which sort 
of solves the problem. The signature stays with the text, but it 
doesn't respect the bottom margin.

That action surprises me, as I use keep-with-previous to drag the 
previous text on to the next page, rather than keep the "next" text 
on the previous page.



I note you are using "always" ... have you tried with "1" to see if 
there is a difference?  Not that I would expect there to be, but it 
is something to try.



What I would like to happen is that the signature blocks respects 
the bottom-margin of the region-body. So when this situation occurs, 
instead of forcing the signature blocks to the margin of the 
previous page, the page break is put between the text blocks, 
leaving me with a second page containing some text and then the signature.

That is the behaviour I am already expecting your code to produce as 
it is, as I would have applied the property as you did.  This may be 
something to bring up with the vendor with a reproducible example.  I 
think it anomalous for the text that doesn't fit to be kept on the 
page where it doesn't fit.
