David, yes I do understand why one would like such an integration. I am personally not familiar enough with the PDF format to assess what would be involved to be able to include a PDF document like an image into another PDF document. > Is there a forum where you can suggest possible features for > consideration by the FOP team ? > IMO your best option is to keep this discussion on the fop-user mailing list and hopefully this way collect some more feedback on your suggestion. Of course you are more than welcome to give it a go and attempt an implementation yourself. If you consider going down that track the fop-dev mailing list is your best friend as that is were current and past FOP developers are more than happy to lend a helping hand. > Best Regards, > > David Elliot > Cheers Manuel > > > On 1/4/06, Manuel Mall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > Hi FOP Users, >> > >> >> I am not aware of any attempts to integrate something like this into >> FOP. >> Have you looked at possible post processing options using a library like >> iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) for example, that is let FOP >> generate the initial PDF then use iText to append / insert pages from >> the >> other PDFs? >> >> Manuel >> >> > Apologies if this is a very common question - I have checked the FAQ! >> > >> > I know that you can embed (via <external-graphic> for example), the >> > following file types: BMP, EPS, GIF, JPEG, PNG, SVG or TIFF during a >> > FOP render. >> > >> > Is there any talk of "PDF" being supported as an additional "Input >> > Format" for Apache FOP?
