We have also had a number of occasions to want to do
two things with external PDFs via FOP:
1): insert an external PDF page into an FOP generated
document (thus, we're merging a PDF and FOP doesn't
really do anything more with it)
2): embed a PDF page within a page in a PDF document
which means that only the "body" section of the page
is involved.
We have used some other tools to acheive task 1, but
the result is always a bit of a hack. Some tools
don't handle page numbers, etc. so there's a lack
of consistency in the overall document.
For item 2, the external PDF object becomes part
of the FOP page, just like an embedded SVG object.
Thanks,

PS it would be really great if I could embed the PDF
in a "float" object and put commentary on three side.

Hi,
I have a question about <fo:external-graphic>. What's the reason
(technical? licensing? lack of interest?) that FOP does not support PDF
as a graphic format? It seems strange that FOP supports PDF for output
but not for input.
The reason I ask is because I'm trying to embed some PDF illustrations
as figures in a PDF document via FOP. What is the workaround for this?
Will I just have to convert the PDFs to a format that FOP supports?
Thanks,
Trevor
