So if I understand well, you are using FOP but not using FO. And you
want to merge multiple PDF pages which are generated from SVG sources.
So, why not just use FO to do that? If you look at
examples/fo/svg/external.fo you will quickly see how to do that.

Dear All,
in my app I generate multipage PDFs from SVG sources. Currently I use Fop's
PDF Transcoder and all individual PDF pages (byte streams) merge together
using PDFBox.
I am considering extending the org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder class to
enable passing document array into the transcode method and to avoid another
dependency or, better, inefficiency.
protected void transcode(Document[] documents, String uri, TranscoderOutput
output) {
// my code
}
But analyzing the code I am not sure if something like this is even
possible. E.g. this line is completely unclear to me (there is no transcode
method in the AbstractFOPTranscoder):
super.transcode(document, uri, output);
To be honest, I don't understand well how the final PDF file is generated
from input SVG nor the way how to intervene into this process and insert a
page break followed by another page.
Can be transcoder modified this way or it would be too complicated?
Thanks for any hints,
Jan
