Okay, this is good.
I am picking up on what you are saying.
I have done something similiar when I was building large XML
documents with SAX.
I had a class implement the SAX ContentHanlder. then parsed and
stream all the
XML files into the ContentHanlder which created one large XML file.
So I need to create my SVG document.
Parse it into FOP, that renders this into PDF.
I think I got the basic idea.
I will think some more on it and then try to put together some
classes for testing.
Thank you :-)

Hmm, the PDF transcoder is only for one-page documents as far as I know.
I wouldn't fiddle with those Area classes. Do it with XSL-FO as Jörg
suggested. Try to come up with an XSL-FO or an XSL-FO generating XSLT
that puts together the layout you need. This will be a lot easier than
trying to make your current approach work.
>From what I think you do I'd do it like this:
- Create an XMLReader class (see
examples/embedding/java/embedding/model/ProjectTeamXMLReader) that
creates a SAX stream with your SVG documents along these lines:
<doc>
<svgdoc>
<svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://......
[..]
</svg:svg>
</svgdoc>
<svgdoc>
<svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://......
[..]
</svg:svg>
</svgdoc>
</doc>
- Write an XSLT that transforms this XML format to XSL:FO with embedded
fo:instream-foreign-objects.
Tip:
To convert a DOM to SAX events you can use
org.apache.fop.tools.DocumentReader for example.
Just get back again if you need more help. Good luck!
