Checking the Recommendation, I think this points to a limitation of
FOP: if you were to specify a value of "repeat" for the "overflow"
property, this should (in theory) generate the effect of the
viewport-/reference-area pair being repeated if the content
overflows the specified dimensions. I don't think FOP currently
supports this, however...
Sorry, I have to take that back. Under 7.21.2, the value of "repeat"
is explicitly defined for absolute or fixed positioned FOs. It should
generate the same effect as "auto". According to the XSL-FO Rec, this
would mean the same as "scroll", but I personally haven't investigated
whether this would apply to PDF. A quick search in the PDF Reference
(1.5) reveals that the word "scrollbar" appears nowhere, and the word
"scroll" only appears in the context of PDF Form objects (list boxes,
text boxes). For PostScript, this obviously does not apply. For Java2D
it would definitely make sense...
