Narrative:

On 15 mile final runway 18 after extending slats; noticed right hydraulic quantity decreasing to 2 quarts. Turned off all applicable pumps per QRH. Quantity remained at 2 quarts. Declared emergency and called for airfield rescue and fire fighters to standby to inspect outside of aircraft after landing; and briefed flight attendants and passengers. Was able to turn pumps back on per QRH to fully configure aircraft with gear and flaps; and gear doors in the up and locked position before quantity and pressure went to zero. Stopped straight ahead on runway until airfield rescue and fire fighters inspected outside and gear were pinned. APU was not started after landing due to hydraulic fluid loss.
