Description Brooks Moses 2007-10-30 17:15:38 UTC
We have a number of DocBook documents which contain embedded images in PDF 
format.  This turned out to be a stumbling block when I was evaluating FOP for 
processing these documents -- as I understand things, it does not currently 
support PDF as an image format.

Thus, I'm entering this feature request, for support for PDF images -- at least 
when generating PDF output.  (I can understand that it would be much trickier 
for non-PDF output, and I'm not asking for that!)

My impression is that embedding PDF images within PDF files is a fairly 
straightforward process that doesn't require actually doing anything 
complicated to the image file contents.

Thanks!

There's experimental support for that in FOP Trunk by now. Read on here:

Note that the branch mentioned in that post has been merged into FOP Trunk now.
Feedback is welcome.
