Re: setting a pdf as the background of another pdf
Yes, the PDF plug-in is integrated like any other image implementation.

setting a pdf as the background of another pdf
Hi, I have a general question. I have a pdf file for an application form. I don't know how this pdf was originally created, but it was given to us by the client. Anyway, I would like to use XML-FO (with FOP) to set this pdf application form as the background for my new pdf document, and then overlay ontop that background with text. This way I can overlay the fields of the application form with data (i.e. populating the application form with data). I would like to know if this is something that is even possible with XML-FO (using FOP). I was not sure if this way the right place to ask this question, or whether I should ask this question in the XML-FO mailing list. Please let me know.
