Using a PDF as an Image

I have a finished form that contains all my graphics.  It is a PDF.
I want to print it and add all the applicable data.   I have been doing
this with JPG files with great success.
I am getting the error: No ImagePreloader found

Here is my code:
<fo:block-container position="absolute" top=".01in" left=".1in">
      <fo:block space-after=".16in" padding-top="0in"
padding-bottom=".16in"
         margin-top="0in">

        <fo:external-graphic src="url('/CY/JLS/CustForm.pdf')"
             content-height="10.6in" content-width="8.4in"/>

      </fo:block>
   </fo:block-container>

I see the notes about using an SVG.   Is it possible to use a PDF for
this purpose?
Is there one reference point where it clearly describes the process?
