Incidentally, I've been investigating this recently for a customer. Essentially, there's one big problem: Our PDF library only supports writing PDF and it's optimized for this task. We don't have a PDF parser which would be needed. I've done a quick&dirty prototype using PDFBox to see if including PDF pages using fo:external-graphic would be doable. If you have a PDF parser it's pretty easy. We were discussing about adopting PDFBox as our primary PDF library but it's not optimized for writing large PDF files which our own library is. Big dilemma. I have a few ideas to make this work with relatively little effort (using a combination of PDFBox and our PDF library, still not a one-day job, though) and I will likely get to this in the next weeks. But as always, no promises on this list and help is welcome. :-)
