Re: [ANN] New release of PDF image support for Apache FOP
In your readme, you specify the following website:
http://www.jeremias-maerki.ch/dev/fop/
This website doesn't seem to work any more.

Stuff like that is on my wishlist but I currently have no such plans.
Embedding PDF in PostScript files requires a PDF interpreter. PDFBox has
the beginnings of one but it needs more work. I think Ben Litchfield
(the primary author of PDFBox) would be happy get help/resources to
improve that part. Having a good Java-based PDF interpreter/viewer that
is liberally licensed would be a great thing in the first place. The
alternative (depends on licensing options) is to use GhostScript
(GPL/commercial license) to convert PDF to EPS. EPS is directly
supported by the PDF renderer.
Embedding PostScript in PDF requires a PostScript interpreter. There's
no decent one, yet, in the Java world so you end up with GhostScript
again.
Depending on "how useful" this functionalty is to your company, we could
talk off-list about some sponsoring. ;-)

This would be useful to my company if you supported the addition of PDFs
to postscript files or the addition of postscript files to PDFs. Do you
have any plans to do so?
Thanks.
