RE: Generate two files

Alexandre,

I don't think that using of additional PDF will help you.
BTW multi-page PDF is inserted into the flow as 1-paged one, so you will have to produce as many PDF as you have chapters. Also you will have to use absolute positioned block-containers to put content behind the "watermark". So this approach is suitable if you are dealing with static layout only.

I think it's much easier to produce separate page-sequence for each chapter and prepare specific header for it using XSL (fo:retrieve-marker is not working inside svg element).

So it will be something like this:
<!-- in the context of chapter node -->
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
    <fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute"
        top="4.25in" left="0.5in" width="7.5in"
        height="2.5in">
        <fo:block>
            <fo:instream-foreign-object width="100%" height="100%"
                content-width="scale-to-fit" content-height="scale-to-fit"
                scaling="uniform">
                <svg:svg width="7.5in" height="2.5in" viewBox="0 0 200 50">
                    <svg:rect fill="#AFA" fill-opacity=".2" x="0" y="0"
                        width="200"
                        height="50" rx="5" ry="5"/>
                    <svg:text style="font-family:Helvetica; font-size:10;
                        font-weight:bold"
                        text-anchor="middle" fill="#06148E"
                        fill-opacity=".3" x="100" y="25"
                        >
                        <xsl:value-of select="@tool"/>
                        <xsl:text>:</xsl:text>
                        <xsl:value-of select="@pn"/>
                        <xsl:text>:</xsl:text>
                        <xsl:value-of select="@type"/>
                        <xsl:text>:</xsl:text>
                        </svg:text>
                </svg:svg>
            </fo:instream-foreign-object>
        </fo:block>
    </fo:block-container>
</fo:static-content>

Respectfully,
