Is-it possible to generate pdf file with link to another document with FOP
?

Not yet, unless you're me. :-)

Seriously, the code to do this has been kicking around for about 3 months or 
so. Most of it (about 95%) is actually already present in the latest FOP, as 
you can see if you look at the FOP sources. What is missing at the moment 
(due to a mixup) is the bridge code to use the existing PDFAnnotList class 
to write an /Annots key for /Page objects that have links. In fact, if you 
use <fo:simple-link> tags right now, the PDF will contain all the link 
objects, it just won't have the /Annots tag for the /Page, nor the /Annots 
object itself.

I've spent 100% of my FOP development time over the past 4 weeks trying to 
successfully become a CVS committer, and hopefully this weekend I'll work out 
the last bugs in that and succeed. In which case I have the final fixes, and 
some update code to better handle links in aligned text, ready to commit.
