http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-user&m=108239654802077&w=2 FWIW, as I set about to change this in foray, I realized that the filters can be disabled by simply passing an empty set through the configuration. For example: <entry role="pdf"> <key>stream-filter-list</key> <list> </list> </entry> If you completely remove the entire entry, you will get the effect mentioned by Joerg, but the above will create a List with no entries that will be used. Another option: <entry role="pdf"> <key>stream-filter-list</key> <value></value> <!-- This line can be omitted --> </entry> The following will yield a warning, but still give the desired effect: <entry role="pdf"> <key>stream-filter-list</key> <value>null</value> </entry> This might be worth documenting for your end users. This is also relevant to the testing scheme that Joerg put together a long time ago. If unencoded files are used for the regression testing, then it becomes more practical to "diff" them for debugging. Victor Mote
