syntax for negating options. Common ways programs do that are:
'n' prefix, eg:

'+' for negation (ick!):
fop +r
pre-fix negation argument that negates the next argument:

fop '!' -r

Sounds like a reasonable idea.
BTW, is there any reason Fop's P

to hex and write that out. This is incorrect, because PDF names should
be UTF-8, so it should be encoding to a UTF-8 byte sequence then escaping.

much anything except the guts of pdf handling.
I'll post a proposed patch soon, along with patches for some other
changes that enable what I'm doing but may be useful for others. A patch
with the fop-pdf-images "merge" feature support will follow once I've
finished it enough that I can do test-runs.

This might be a good opportunity to merge fop-pdf-image .

I haven't, and it's worth a try. It'd produce a document containing many
hundreds of small irregular shaped pages, as each input PDF is quite
small. It'd certainly help confirm whether the issue was XObject form
use, or whether it was font duplication.

scope creep. I see the
pdf-image-plugin as a plugin that treats PDFs as images, nothing more.
If you want to stitch together PDFs, PDFBox is designed just for that.
The trouble is that fop-pdf-image exists because PDFs aren't just
images. If they were, it'd be much easier to just rasterise
;d like to
note another possible motivation for extracting the font library: to
then potentially permit it to be merged with or replaced by pdfbox's
fontbox, reducing duplicate work.

- Anything in the proposed XSL-FO 2.0 feature list (though most of it
won't be realistic for GSoC projects);
- Merge fop-pdf-image and implement smart merging of font, profile, and
image resources. I'm working on this one at the moment, but slowly and
only amid other projects.

not the only area where a pdfbox-based backend might be good.

ce the same one. Fop
will use the same font since it knows about it and has stored it in the
used fonts map, so the only problem is that the whole font is embedded
rather than a subset.
Anyone working on the same thing, please feel free to drop me a note.

aven artifact can be created with the

suitable generated pom.xml . No biggie.
You can use Maven builds with jars not created or managed with Maven,
you can use Ant to produce Maven artifacts, and you can use Ant to
consume Maven-produced artifacts. It doesn't really force anything on
you at all.

That said, I do find that the way it doesn't tend to include m

If you're interested in running a snapshot repo, Sonatype Nexus may be
