 Has anyone ever attempted to print tax forms (i.e. 1099, 1098, W-2) using XSL-FO. I'm wondering if using 'fo:external graphic' would work for printing the form itself in the 'background' (printing the data for these forms has already been accomplished using XSL-FO). Any help in the right direction is greatly appreciated. There are at least these techniques you could use: 1. Use overlapping absolutely-positioned block-containers, one with the form, one with the data 2. Put the form in an edge region that has an extent that overlaps the region-body 3. Use a background graphic with the form Option 2 is probably the most portable, with 3 the second most. You could use fo:table to construct the form itself, unless you already have a graphic rendering of the form. With XEP and XSL Formatter you could use SVG to draw the form. Cheers, Eliot -- W.
