RE: [BUG] Merging PDF
Merging PDF files is not supported by FOP, and is not as easy to implement
as Acrobat Writer makes it seem. If you need this feature, I would suggest
some type of post processing via another PDF library such as Etymon's PJ.

Hi
Is it possible to initialize the Driver with an exisiting PDF-File so that
when
the render-method is invoked, the new PDF-Output is appended to the
exisiting PDF-File ?
I tried
boolean append = true;
driver.setWriter(new printWriter(new FileWriter(args[1], append)));
in the code example I found at http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html
but that does only extend the file size and leaves the PDF document
itself untouched.
Merging PDF Files is supported by Adobe Acrobat Writer - so I thought
it must be possible with FOP, too.
Do you have any hint for me ?
Thanks and have a nice weekend
Reinhard :)

or just use Acrobat, if you want to do it by hand
