Andreas, I fear I didn't understand the question correctly, how do I read the files back in? I call the xslt processor from within a java program and write the resulting fo files to a specific directory. Then I loop through the directory and send every file to the fo processor. So there is no 'piping', just writing a file and reading a file. Piping is what I would like to do, but I have no idea how? Hence my question. I looked at iText in a different context and it worked well then but I would prefer to stay just within xsl:fo if possible. Erwin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Andreas L.

The way I understand it, the redirected files can be considered as 'side-effects' of the main transformation, but I was curious to find out in what way a piped FO processor could keep track of these, and what would be the best way of triggering a rendering-run for them (--redirection extensions being an XSL processor-specific matter). For the moment, depending on the actual requirements (i.e. whether you use page-numbering in your XSL-FO) your best bet may be to try not to redirect, keep them in a single fo:root and use a tool like iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) to cut up the pdf after processing.
