Thanks for the response. My problem is absolutely in Acrobat, specifically in how Acrobat deals with the PDFs generated using FOP 0.95 (I'm pretty sure). I'm hoping there might be some setting, or known issue, in dealing with the two products in the fashion I'm doing it.
I combine somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 PDF pages daily, and have done so for about three years. The process is quick and reliable. Last week, one of our clients migrated from FOP .2 to FOP .95, and abolutely every subsequent file sent by them has brought me to my knees. The remaining 90% of my work (coming from other clients and using other PDF generation tools) is flowing great, and I can rerun old FOP .2 files which also still work great. To me, the smoking gun is the upgrade, but I could be pursuaded otherwise. It wouldn't be my first incorrect assumption. I'm hoping to find the cause, or at least some sort of work around, or I'm afraid I'm going to have to turn away this client's business. Does that make sense? I readily acknowledge my lack of experience with the FOP toolset. Any light shed on the issue would be most helpful.
