As far as I know, this cannot be found within the XSL-FO standard. But I think I've found an answer to my question, iText http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ which seems to have the possibility to generate most of the stuff that can be found in the PDF standard. /Erik XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
