But to read a PDF into a document even for print-only purposes, you would need to go through some type of conversion to integrate it into the structure of your document object. And that would, IMHO, still require some type of PDF import filter. Except, one could treat such a PDF watermark independently of OO.o framework, and delegate it to a printer assuming that the underlying printing system supports PDF format natively. I think this is how a PS is handled currently (corrections are welcome), and if this is all you need, then yes, that could probably be done without developing a whole new PDF import filter. The downside is that it would not necessarily work with all the printers. I would recommend bringing this discussion to the [email protected] (the gsl project handles printing, graphic filters, rendering framework and the whole nine-yard) which I believe is the appropriate list for this type of discussion.
