I'm not a PDF expert, but here's a paragraph from a man page:
epstopdf transforms the Encapsulated PostScript file epsfile so that it
is guaranteed to start at the 0,0 coordinate, and it sets a page size
exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox. This means that when
Ghostscript renders it, the result needs no cropping, and the PDF Medi-
aBox is correct. The result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version
written.
This is what I use with PDFLaTeX and PassiveTeX to put vector graphics
into PDF documents. Relying on EPS for graphics in PDF documents
sort-of defeats the point of PDF.
It seems to me that it should be fairly easy to include PDF graphics
support in FOP, no?

shortcoming, as there does not appear to be a way to include existing
EPS or PDF graphics in a FOP-generated document, and show the result
in acroread.
FOP can include EPS graphis, but Acrobat reader wont display them
(that's mainly a restriction of AcrobatReader, not FOP, a PS printer
will print them even from Acrobat Reader).
What's a PDF graphic? A recursivly embedded PDF?
