Description

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!
