I'm printing an image on every page of every document (company logo). I couldn't figure out a format to reference an external file (BMP/JPG/etc) which works regardless of which machine the transform runs on, so I embedded the image as SVG. I was wondering if there's a way to embed it once and reference it on each page as a link to that one embedded image. If I'm reading you right, this is not currently possible with SVG but this is the default for the external images so I'll need to revisit how to get that working.

Bitmap images identified by the same URI are always just embedded once in a PDF file, irrespective of page sequences which can't be mapped to PDF 1.4 anyway. Only with SVG that is different. SVG is a bit tricky concerning Form XObjects since it supports links which have to be embedded in PDF with absolute page coordinates. So far nobody has tackled that problem. Without the links, this would be quite easy. But even with the links it is not a big deal, I think. Just a bit more effort.
