Thanks. This provides the motivation we've
needed to upgrade to 0.95.

PS you can ignore my earlier post - it overlapped this one.

Hi Trevor
I'm a bit surprised to read this here after our e-mail exchange today.
But to answer your questions:

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.
That was no requirement for a long time or nobody cared to invest the
time. At some point I got funding to implement the PDF plug-in [1]. I
had to use PDFBox because FOP's own PDF library is write-only.
Retrofitting PDF parsing support in FOP's PDF library would have meant a
lot of work. Using PDFBox was a relatively cheap shortcut.

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?
Use the PDF image plug-in [1].
Will I just have to convert the PDFs to a format that FOP supports?
That's the alternative.
