Hi all,

I'm currently using FOP 0.93, and I've just started looking at
using SVG images in the rendered PDFs. One thing that I have
noticed is that the image size of the resulting PDF grows
considerably.

It would appear that if I import an SVG multiple times, the
resulting PDF includes a new instance of the image. If I have
a 20k SVG displayed in the header of a 20 page document, then
it adds 400k to the PDF (before compression). Is this correct?

If so, is there a way around it? My plan is to use a small
number of SVGs a large number of times, so being able to embed
an image once, and simply reference it each time it is used in
the PDF would greatly reduce space.

If this isn't the case, then I obviously need to try and
figure out why my PDFs seem to grow considerably if I
repeat the same image.

I'm mostly importing SVGs as background images, but some are
inserted with <fop:external-graphic>

Thanks.
