Hi Julio,

Not directly.
It may be possible to subclass the PDFDocumentGraphics2D to achieve
this.

Could you give a brief outline of how such a class would work so we can
add it to a to do list. This has been requested a few times and could be
a useful addition.

Could you please save it in bugzilla as enhancement? Otherwise it's going to

Re: Using Apache FOP to create multiple-page PDFs usingPDFDocumentGraphics2D

Posted by jcplerm <jc...@ameritech.net>.

Actually, I managed to find a solution late last night that apparently
works.
It should be further refined by the FOP team, of course.

I am sending attached two files:

    MultipagePDFDocumentGraphics2D.java:
                                        Subclass of PDFDocumentGraphics2D.
Adds a method
                                        "makePage" and others to enable
creation of multiple
                                        pages.

    TestPDFGen.java:    Illustrates the use of
MultipagePDFDocumentGraphics2D.
                                       It uses a combination of AWT clipping
and translation,
                                       plus MultipagePDFDocumentGraphics2D
added methods
                                       to achieve the result of multiple
pages. Basically, the same
                                       AWT drawing is repainted, but on
different clipping areas
                                       and PDF pages.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Julio Lerm

It probably isn't what you wanted to hear but you could possibly duplicate 
the image several times and possibly use SVG clipping on each one - but 
clip to a different region each time.

Assuming clipping is working....
