Hi Jeremias... I use FOP among other things to create customer proofs for advertisements sold by our system.
Now we've to implement selling of double-sided display ads (yellow pages etc...). The Advertisements are stored in postscript format (also the multipage ads). Now the proof now genereated by a stylesheet which consumes all related contract data (customer-data, publication-data and last but not least the URL's of all generated ad's). This ads will be inserted by <fo:external-grahic> tag. After creating the PDF File the result will be redistilled by ghostscript to make the postscript content visible also in Acrobat Reader for (EMail and FAX Proofing). The original result can be printed on postscript printer (to avoid loss of quality) for sending Proofs to cusotmers by snail mail. If I insert a multipage postscript file it sems to be the Renderer reservs only the space defined in the 'BoundingBox' DSC Comment for the whole document. But each %%page: and %%PageBoundingBox: is ignored respectively drawed into the boundingbox of the whole document. Do you know any soluition for that? Any help would be appreciated!! cu Torsten > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Dienstag, 17.
