That was actually the route that I first tried, and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. When I hardcoded the values, it worked, when I had a choose statement, it didn't. I could be wrong, but here's what I've concluded: the draft.watermark.image value needs to be set before the scripts actually start parsing the xml file and laying out the FO, therefore, I can't use the contents of the XML to set the value of the parameter in the usual fashion; sneakiness is needed. Thoughts?

This means I need to set the value of the draft.watermark.image value dynamically. This is a little difficult because, as far as I can tell, the parameter value needs to be set before the target file is processed (makes sense, just inconvienent at the moment). Is there any boilerplate way of getting around this? Thanks, Jeff
