Hi Enrico, thanks for your reply. Yes, your "within FOP" is worth a try, but I'm not happy with modifying the FOP source. I'd prefer to have a, say, RenderInfo object, to get useful information about the rendered document. Thanks anyway, ____________________________ Erik Rehrmann IOn AG - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Enrico Schnepel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 30.
