Barry:
No problem. In case you need it, I have attached some code that we used for a fake watermark on some of our official documents. It is not transparent, but it got the job done. Just FYI.
First, the call (it can be any region):
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="generic" language="en" country="us">
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<fo:block-container position="absolute" top="10mm" left="1mm" height="70mm" width="230mm">
<xsl:call-template name="showWatermark">
<xsl:with-param name="watermarkText"><xsl:apply-templates select="statusText"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</fo:block-container>
<!-- and the code goes on...-->
Now the template (you can swap out the text tag for any svg tag):
<xsl:template name="showWatermark">
<xsl:param name="watermarkText"></xsl:param>
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:instream-foreign-object xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<svg:svg width="285" height="70">
<svg:g transform="rotate(-5)">
<svg:text x="10" y="60" style="font-family:Courier;font-size:40;font-weight:normal;stroke-width:0.5;fill:none;stroke:lightgray;stroke-opacity:0.75;"><xsl:value-of select="$watermarkText"/></svg:text>
</svg:g>
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Hi Louis
Thanks for the response but this wont work for me Im afraid.
First the image is set in the region-body and it’s a vector graphic that we use for a background.
Sorry for the confusion that’s my fault.
Kind regards
Barry

Subject: Re: Embeded svg files
I do this in 0.20.3 for all of our images. Here is a sample code block that puts a basic shipping mark on a report:
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:instream-foreign-object xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<svg:svg width="96.4" height="51">
<svg:g stroke="black">
<svg:line x1="2" y1="37.8" x2="94.4" y2="37.8" stroke-width="1"/>
<svg:line x1="94.4" y1="37.8" x2="81.8" y2="0" stroke-width="1"/>
<svg:line x1="81.8" y1="0" x2="14.6" y2="0" stroke-width="1"/>
<svg:line x1="14.6" y1="0" x2="2" y2="37.8" stroke-width="1"/>
<svg:text x="22" y="20" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="7pt" style="fill:black">See Instructions</svg:text>
</svg:g>
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>
This renders fine in PDF, but to see something like this in IE 5/6, you will need a plugin (go to Adobe).
