org.apache.fop.render.intermediate.util.IFConcatenator

public class IFConcatenator
extends java.lang.Object

This class allows to concatenate multiple intermediate format files to a single output file in the final format. It is based on the SAX API and is therefore very fast and does not require to load the individual documents into memory as DOM documents, for example.

Note: This class will filter/ignore any document navigation events. Support for this may be added later.
