Inserting documents into another document

Hi guys,

 

I need to insert a page from an existing document, into my document, is
there a way of inserting an external page from a document, but
specifying which page it is in that document that needs to be added?

 

Thanks,

No, you have to post-process the PDF with a third-party tool and insert
the page that way. Tools you can use can be found in:

Andre,

I am a bit confused by your question. When you talk document what do you
mean: a fragment of a FOP input file? Or do you mean for example taking a
page from an existing PDF file and inserting it into another PDF file or
...

Here I am guessing you mean: you have an input file you give to FOP (in
XML via an XSLT transform or directly in XSL-FO format) and as part of
FOPs processing you would like to specify the inclusion of a page from an
external PDF file into the generated output?

Before delving into possible solutions: is my guess correct?
