Multiple pages on one page
Hi,
Is there any way of configuring FOP to put multiple pages on the one
page? For example, I want to generate a document where two "FO pages"
sit on the one physical page.
Would it be difficult to modify the Renderer to do this, if we cannot do
it already?
Thanks.

Your right, that is what I need.
They can do themselves a favour and put some download links on their
page (instead of telling us to go to sourceforge)

Why don't you let FOP generate two seperate PDF pages and merge them
afterwards? pdftk is only one example, the multivalent tools is another
(http://multivalent.sourceforge.net/Tools/pdf/Impose.html). If you
output PS you have an even broader toolset you may use. There is
nothing wrong with that approach, this is how it's done in commercial
printing (called imposition; although used usually on a much larger
scale)
