Hi Glen / David,

Is there any talk of "PDF" being supported as an additional "Input
Format" for Apache FOP? We would like to read in PDF input docs as
part of a multi-attachment XML -> PDF render.
That would IMHO be outside FOP's scope, as the input for Apache FOP
is an XML document in the XSL namespace. That's FOP's task at
Apache. Other software products may choose to embed Apache FOP as
part of something that you would like to see, but I think FOP's
role in this aspect should be merely to be very easy to be embedded
in other products, but not directly be that "other product" itself.
That's very nicely put. At most, what could be done directly in FOP --
if anyone has the necessary amount of time and resources-- is create
a FO extension for this. If I recall correctly, this has already been
mentioned in the past (albeit very briefly).
Just thought I'd mention it again.
Cheers,
Andreas
