how to merge PDFs
FOP 1.1 We have been using FOP for quite a few years now. We are really happy with it. We use it to generate PDF reports. We seem to be running into an issue where really large reports start to display the XSL-FOP code in the output. Example: d=submission-4 fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-after fo:table fs week? If so, provide details on the conference/workshop/journal, authors, paper I was thinking that maybe I could process each page into its own PDF and then splice the single page PDFs together into a master PDF document. Has anyone ever done this? This will prevent the issue from occurring. Thanks, Lance Campbell Software Architect Web Services at Public Affairs 217-333-0382
RE: how to merge PDFs
I looked over the PDFBox option. Do you believe there is a way to renumber pages in a merged PDF document?

However, you definitely shouldn't be seeing XSL-FO in the output PDF. Can you post a bug and attach a test sample? Depending on what you're doing, FOP should be able to handle big documents so the merging shouldn't be necessary.

Re: how to merge PDFs
Hi, If you cut the output into different section, each section is suppressed from the memory at the end. This is not possible if you have link between the differents sections. I do this in a project to generate very big pdf file with a small java machine. Marc Le lundi 28 janvier 2013 21:42:17, Campbell, Lance a écrit : I looked over the PDFBox option.

Re: how to merge PDFs
Please provide a test case if you think you found a bug. Most likely there is some oddity in your FO input that causes the problem. If you want to merge documents and have control over how they are generated you can use initial-page-number to set the page number for the start of a page sequence. To merge, besides PDFBox you can use pdftk (which itself uses iText). On 1/28/13 8:42 PM, Campbell, Lance wrote: I looked over the PDFBox option.
