I was able to suppress the headers and footers, but fop still gave me
warnings:

updateData2

The image is cropped in various ways, depending on the alignment and scaling
options that I tried.

Anyway, on the fop user's list, I got this response to my question:

It works, but I have to edit the fo file and replace the relevant
<fo:page-sequence>
...
  <fo:block id="x" text-align="center">
    <fo:external-graphic src="url(y) ..."/>
  </fo:block>
...
</fo:page-sequence>

with 
<fox:external-document id="x" src="y"/>

I also have to declare the fox namespace.

Is there a way to incorporate this fop extension into my custom 
stylesheet?I do not care that the fo will be compatible only with
fop.
