What PDF library is the oxf:pdf-template processor using? I am
wondering if it is capable of creating a multi-page PDF from a single-page PDF template? Optionally, is the processor capable of combining multiple PDF files into a single multi-page one?

Alex,
We are using the iText library: http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ I believe you should be able to do that with that library, and it should even be quite easy. What would be best would be to improve on the existing oxf:pdf-template processor, or create another processor that could be included in OPS. Feel free to post related questions in ops-users. -Erik Alexander Zatko wrote: > What PDF library is the oxf:pdf-template processor using?

Erik,
The library capabilities look pretty good. When you build the processor - did you address a particular need that you had at that time (exposing only a limited set of functions the library implements)? From the PDF template example it seems like the processor can currently do only text placement into a particular place of an existing PDF file and set font family and size of the text. A.

Correct, the intent was not to create an "iText" processor, but a
specific processor to place text over a PDF template, which in fact is a very useful and generic functionality. -Erik Alexander Zatko wrote: > Erik, > > The library capabilities look pretty good.
