Hi Melanie, IF <page> and <page-segment> elements are generally self-contained. I can imagine that there could be problems with document navigation tags, so they might need to be filtered, too. Did you get any specific error message? The X/Y coordinates are indendent between pages. You can filter them using XSLT or by implementing the IFDocumentHandler interface.
Take a look at the following classes for inspiration: - org.apache.fop.render.intermediate.util.IFConcatenator - org.apache.fop.render.intermediate.util.IFDocumentHandlerProxy - examples/embedding/java/embedding/intermediate/ExampleConcat.java There is currently no convenience class (like the IFConcatenator) that demonstrates page filtering, but it should really be easy to do. So I'm a little surprised that removing <page> elements didn't work for you. It might help if you posted a file that demonstrates your problems.
