Hi folks
I've just found out about Jeremias's PDF-image extension for fop. It's
ideal for my purposes, as I need to include pre-produced PDFs from
desktop publishing software inside an XSL-FO document that's output to PDF.
I'm curious: Is there a reason it hasn't been bundled into fop proper?
While it has some significant limitations, so does much of fop, so I
wouldn't think that things like the PDF/X and PDF/A incompatibility
would be a roadblock - fop could just issue a warning if PDF images were
embedded in a PDF/X or PDF/A document.
Anyway, thanks very much Jeremias for that code - I'll be
enthusiastically trying it out soon. Hopefully it'll let me get away
from producing PostScript with embedded EPSs and chucking that through
Adobe Acrobat Distiller as I currently have to do to work around the
inability to inline PDFs, since rasterising PDF isn't acceptable for my
purposes.
Any chance this'll get into fop mainline where it'll get more testing
and better visibility?
