I'm not sure what this quickdraw thing is you're referring to, but if I'm understanding it right, it's not like you can alter the PDF heading after the transform. The PDF is already mostly written to the file at this point. It just left out the last block. I don't know the size of that block, if it's always one complete section, if it's possible to insert something to the file before that. Obviously you can't write anything after the end of that stream before closing the stream because it's a PDF which has to end with the %EOF.
All agreed - for PDF. That's why I used a quickdraw example; a quickdraw "drawing" file could actually support more than one (embedded) jpeg image, and FOP can (as you know) generate JPEG images. Hence the undesirability of FOP closing its output stream. In this example, an induividual JPEG may be finished, but the quickdraw isn't.
