Spot colors (no matter if Pantone or whatever else) are not supported by XSL-FO to my knowledge. To specify a spot color in a PDF document, you have to give the name of the spot color (= some string without special meaning, your printer has to know how to interpret this) and a RGB representation of the color so that Acrobat can display it close to correct. This RGB-representation can be completely wrong, then you're document will look wrong when viewed on screen but will be correctly printed (if your printer uses the color you specified in the color name). See how Xml2Pdf by Altanova solves this problem: http://alt-soft.com/Support_kb_color_management.aspx The first paragraph says it all: Xml2PDF supports also a number of conventions (!) for RGB, CMYK, Grayscale, Spot and some other colors. This means, by adding custom attributes (or "conventions", as they did), it would be possible for FOP to support spot colors.
