merge PDF files with FOP??

hello mailing list,

i´m making my first experiences with FOP and i have the folowing question:
Is it possible to edit a pdf file with FOP or to merge it with an  
other pdf file (or a piece of it), that is not created with FOP?

thnx

Have a look at pdftk or similar tools, fop is not made for that. pdftk 
can merge multiple pdf files into one.

Not sure whether FOP can do it, it is surely not designed to do stuff 
like that (FOP is an XSL-FO processor that transforms XSL-FO documents 
into a variety of other formats (if it could include PDF, or RTF or Word 
or whatever, it must also be capable of converting these formats to any 
of the other output formats).

May I suggest you lookup the excellent MultiValent 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/multivalent/) or the PDF Split and 
Merge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/). I've only use the first 
(excellent product, download the stable version though), the second 
seems promising.

Cheers,
