Sorry to reply to my own question, but I figured I'd bring this up one more time before it gets buried. If there's any way either of the problems described below can be solved, it would be huge to my project. Mainly I just want to know if anyone knows off the top of their head:
1) Is there some FOP-way to solve these problems that I'm missing? 2) If not, could they be handled with an extension? 3) Would it possibly make sense to do post-FOP PDF manipulation w/something like iText? (I realize you can't just go inserting things into PDF.) thx a lot, Matt Savino > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Savino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 9:55 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Example extension > > > I've been told than an extension is the way to go for these two needed > features: > > 1.
