org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFFunction Type 3 Stitching function

[Clifton B. Sothoron Jr.]

Dear list,

We are experimenting with Apache FOP to generate PDF. We would like to
create large PDF's. Memory usage is becoming an issue. In the past with
other PDF toolkits we have resorted to stitching various PDF's together
in order to avoid running out of memory.  There is mention in the
org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFFunction documentation of stitching functions.
What do these functions do?

 

Thanks in advance,

                                                 Clifton Sothoron
