incorporating static pdf pages?

Is it possible in xsl-fo when generating a dynamic pdf to add static 
pdf pages that are contained in a separate pdf file into the final 
pdf?

For example, 
2 pages from a pdf file at start of document
+ dynamically generated xsl-fo
+ 2 pages from pdf file at end of document

TIA,
Michelle

FOP is primarily a program to format XSLFO into other
formats, like PDF. It is not meant to be a more general
PDF processor.

The iText library
  http://www.lowagie.com/iText/
can probably help you. You'll probably have to write your own
Java wrapper to get your trask done. The iText tutorial has
some interesting examples, another one demonstrating how to
integrate with FOP is here:
