Hi,
A better approach to merging multiple PDF files together is to use the
Intermediate Format. So instead of transforming each separate File
FO->PDF directly, tranform FO->IF and then once you have all the
separate IF Files you can merge them into one large PDF File. If you try
to do that with PDFBox or similar you will be constrained by memory as
those tools have to load the entire PDF data into an object model inside
the process. We can generate 10s of thousands of pages using this
technique and you can resequence the page numbers with a few minor
tweaks to the XML as you load the files in, rather than having to
manipulate PDF Text to achieve this.
Take a look at the Java code example
\examples\embedding\java\embedding\intermediate\ExampleConcat.java to
see how to achieve what I'm describing.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for your suggestion on submitting a bug. I put together the
information to recreate the problem as well as the PDF that was in
error. I submitted it just now.
I think I will skip the merge and wait to hear back from the bug
submission.

Please provide a test case if you think you found a bug. Most likely
there is some oddity in your FO input that causes the problem.
If you want to merge documents and have control over how they are
generated you can use initial-page-number to set the page number for
the start of a page sequence.
To merge, besides PDFBox you can use pdftk (which itself uses iText).

I looked over the PDFBox option. Do you believe there is a way to
renumber pages in a merged PDF document?

Look into PDFBox, its another Apache project that can do just
that. However, you definitely shouldn't be seeing XSL-FO in the
output PDF.
Can you post a bug and attach a test sample? Depending on what
you're doing, FOP should be able to handle big documents so the
merging shouldn't be necessary.

FOP 1.1
We have been using FOP for quite a few years now. We are really
happy with it. We use it to generate PDF reports. We seem to be
running into an issue where really large reports start to display
the XSL-FOP code in the output.
Example:
d="submission-4"> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
<fo:table> <fs week? If so,
provide details on the conference/workshop/journal, authors, paper
I was thinking that maybe I could process each page into its own
PDF and then splice the single page PDFs together into a master
PDF document.
Has anyone ever done this?
This will prevent the issue from occurring.
